General Surgery, FY 1
Oldham, England, United Kingdom Temporary General Surgery Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust
Total Shifts: 1
An opportunity is available for a Foundation Year 1 doctor to join a busy general surgery team. This post is suited to a motivated and conscientious doctor seeking to develop core clinical skills within a supportive, well-supervised environment. The successful candidate will work alongside consultants, registrars, specialty doctors, nurses and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide safe, effective care for surgical patients.
Duties will include assessing new admissions, taking histories, conducting examinations, requesting and interpreting appropriate investigations, and contributing to the formulation of management plans. You will review patients on the ward, participate in consultant-led ward rounds, document clinical findings accurately, and communicate changes in condition promptly. The role will also involve preparing patients for theatre, supporting post-operative care, completing discharge summaries, and ensuring appropriate follow-up arrangements are made.
You will be expected to contribute to the on-call rota, responding appropriately to urgent clinical situations and seeking senior advice whenever required. Other responsibilities include completing clinical documentation, prescribing safely within your level of competence, undertaking practical procedures following appropriate training, and escalating concerns relating to patient safety. You will participate in handovers and multidisciplinary meetings, helping to maintain continuity of care across the surgical pathway.
Applicants must hold a primary medical qualification and have eligibility for registration with the General Medical Council, including the right to practise in the UK. Foundation Year 1 doctors must demonstrate the required competencies for the post and maintain appropriate professional registration throughout employment. Previous experience in surgery or an acute hospital setting is desirable, although applications from doctors with a strong interest in general surgery will be welcomed.
You should have effective communication and interpersonal skills, a professional and compassionate approach, and the ability to work reliably as part of a team. You must be organised, adaptable and able to prioritise competing demands in a busy clinical environment. Commitment to teaching, audit, quality improvement and continuing professional development is expected. Comprehensive induction, educational supervision and opportunities for learning will be provided.
