Description

This is an opportunity to work in an internationally respected unit at the forefront of Oncoplastic Breast Surgery.

This post would be suitable for both UK and international senior surgical trainees, wishing to advance their skills in oncoplastic breast surgery.

The successful applicant will be working at senior trainee level (equivalent to ST6+).

Successful applicants need to have full GMC registration.

MRCS or FRCS examinations are not a prerequisite for applicants, but, an equivalent level of surgical training and education is expected.

Sound basic knowledge in breast surgical oncology and/or breast reconstruction would be desirable, and a good level of knowledge and clinical skills in assessment and management of breast disease is essential.

Please see attached Job description for full itinerary on main duties that the role entails.

The Breast Services activities are concentrated in two main areas: the symptomatic service for GP referred patients and the NHS Breast Screening Programme.

The breast surgery service within Breast Services provides standard diagnostic and therapeutic surgery, as well as a comprehensive reconstructive surgery service (working closely with the Plastic Surgeons).

The Breast Service is multidisciplinary and includes, under a single management team, surgeons, radiologists, specialist nurses (breast care nurses and nurse practitioners), ACPs, diagnostic radiographers and administrative/clerical staff.

The Breast Services budget includes funding for all breast inpatient and outpatient activity and breast diagnostic support. We have long established and frequently reviewed clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

The combined Plastic and Breast Surgery service is currently carried out by Mr Douglas Macmillan, Mr Tuabin Rasheed, Miss Ellie Gutteridge, Miss Lisa Whisker, Mr Hazem Khout, Miss S.

Nadia Gilani, Miss Susanna Polotto, Miss Razia Bano (Locum), Ms A Mumtaz (locum), Mr Stephen McCulley, Ms Anna Raurell, Miss Hulla Mohammed and Mr Sarmad Tamimy (plastics HOS).

A joint breast reconstruction clinic is held each week at which both the breast surgeon and plastic surgeons are present.

Joint consultant operating lists also take place on a weekly basis.

Since its inception, the unit has been accredited for a TIG, oncoplastic breast surgical fellowship (a centrally funded and supernumerary post) by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Additionally there are local breast/general and plastics surgical trainees and fellows in the team.
