Description

Trauma services for the local population are provided on the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital site. Elective surgery is provided on the Burnley General Teaching Hospital site.

The department of Orthopaedics provides a general Orthopaedic and acute trauma service to the population of East Lancashire.

The trauma service is Consultant led, with 20 trauma lists per week (4 on Monday, 3 per day Tuesday to Friday and 2 per day Saturday and Sunday).

All the Consultants provide a general Orthopaedic service and in addition they have a sub-specialty interest. There are excellent links with teaching units within the North West region.

Operative facilities are provided in 7 laminar flow theatres across the Trust with 4 at Burnley General Teaching Hospital and 3 at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital.

A comprehensive range of trauma and elective instrumentation is held and regularly updated. Outpatient clinics are based at Burnley General Teaching Hospital and Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital. Peripheral Orthopaedic clinics are held in Rossendale, Pendle, Clitheroe and Accrington.

The unit is supported by a full range of radiology and pathology services. There are MR facilities on both sites.

We are seeking to appoint a Locum Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon with a sub-speciality interest in Lower Limb arthroplasty.

This will be a 6 month post covering sickness absence. The post will have sessions at both Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital and Burnley General Teaching Hospital.

The post does not have any on-call commitments but the Locum Consultant will be expected to undertake trauma lists.

Due to the trauma workload the Trust operates a system of a first and second on-call Consultant for Orthopaedic trauma.

Fracture clinics are undertaken at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital.

The post holder will be expected to keep up to date with developments within the specialty by attending appropriate conferences and study courses.

Study leave and expenses are processed by the Post Graduate team.
