Description

We are looking to recruit a surgeon to specialise in knee elective (arthroplasty and soft tissue surgery) as well as general and subspecialty orthopaedic trauma management.

This is a locum post to cover a 6 month sabbatical starting 1stOctober 2023.

There is a possibility of extension (depending on length of sabbatical) and conversion to a substantive post, depending on the needs of the department.

The outpatient service for this service is a multidisciplinary clinic with input from physiotherapy, podiatry, radiology and sports and exercise medicine consultants and registrars.

This service has grown over the past 24 months and the work associated with these clinics has led to a greater demand for our services.

This post will work with 9 other orthopaedic consultants and be part of the trauma and orthopaedic team at the Homerton Hospital.

This post is part of the strategic plan to build on the success of our Trauma & Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine service.

Expertise is required within both trauma and elective orthopaedic surgery, and this will include training in all aspects of hip and knee surgery.
