The successful candidate will gain broad experience across elective and emergency general surgery, working alongside experienced consultants and a multidisciplinary team. This post is suitable for a doctor seeking to develop their operative, clinical and leadership skills within a structured training environment.
Responsibilities will include assessing and managing patients referred with acute surgical conditions, contributing to ward rounds, undertaking pre-operative assessment, assisting with and performing procedures appropriate to level of competence, and providing post-operative care. You will participate in emergency admissions, theatre activity, outpatient clinics and the out-of-hours on-call rota. The role will also involve communicating effectively with patients and relatives, obtaining consent, maintaining accurate clinical records and ensuring safe, well-coordinated discharge planning.
You will be expected to work collaboratively with colleagues across surgery, anaesthetics, emergency medicine, radiology, pathology and other relevant specialties.

The successful applicant will demonstrate excellent communication skills, professionalism, reliability and a commitment to patient-centred care. You must be able to work flexibly, including evenings, weekends and nights, and contribute positively to a team-based service. Support for continuing professional development, portfolio progression and achievement of agreed training objectives will be provided.
