Description

The department of Plastic Surgery is located at Wexham Park Hospital, Slough, where the inpatient adult and paediatric beds, dedicated operating theatre facilities and main outpatient sessions are based.

Most emergency and some elective work is undertaken at Wexham Park Hospital.

Outpatient clinics and operating sessions are also held at Heatherwood Hospital and at King Edward VII Hospital, Windsor, St Mark's Hospital, Maidenhead, Bracknell, and Chalfont's St Peters.

The department manages trauma from a large catchment, including patients from regional hospitals such as Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge and the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.

Up to 50% of the inpatient activity is dedicated to the provision of acute care for trauma and emergency care.

Our hand trauma figures continue to rise and there is an interest in the department to expand the hand trauma cover we provide to ensure we adhere to BSSH standards.

The ability to work flexibly, cohesively and in collaboration with the existing consultants is a necessary requirement to the post.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust provides NHS hospital services for 900,000 people across Berkshire, Hampshire Surrey, and South Buckinghamshire. It came into being on October 1, 2014 following the amalgamation of two neighbouring trusts. It was the first successful acquisition of one NHS foundation trust by another.

Services are delivered from three main hospital sites at Frimley Park, near Camberley, Heatherwood at Ascot, and Wexham Park, Slough, along with a number of satellite centres.

As well as delivering excellent district general hospital services to its population the trust has specialist cardiac interventional centre, vascular, stroke, spinal, cystic fibrosis, and plastic services across a wide catchment.
