Consultant Colorectal Surgeon

Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth has a reputation for innovation and excellence, consistently delivering outstanding performance, whilst developing the skills and abilities of our staff. We are delighted to have recently been rated "GOOD" overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Applications are sought for a substantive appointment of a General Surgeon with an interest in colorectal surgery to join an established and successful team of seven colorectal surgeons working at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust. This is a replacement post with ability to support services including IBD, endometriosis surgery, Gynae-oncology, Complex abdominal wall reconstruction and proctology. The successful candidate will be part of a team of 14 consultants for the provision of emergency general surgery. We are currently in partnership with St Mary's hospital, Isle of Wight. It is envisaged that the Trusts will merge, and the new appointee will be expected to work across both sites as part of their job plan.

Training and experience in a tertiary referral centre for colorectal disease will be preferable, and a higher degree, colorectal publications, ongoing colorectal research interests and robotic colorectal experience will be looked upon very favourably. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of dynamic colorectal team and an advanced robotic colorectal platform. Being a competent surgeon entails more than just operative skills, and evidence will be sought as to the appointee's clinical judgement and team working.
