Total Shifts: 1

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced General Surgery Consultant to join a busy clinical team delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. The successful candidate will provide specialist assessment, diagnosis and treatment for patients presenting with a broad range of general surgical conditions, working across elective and emergency services.

Key responsibilities will include leading consultant-led outpatient clinics, undertaking pre-operative assessments, performing and supervising surgical procedures, and providing post-operative care. You will participate in the emergency general surgery rota, support the assessment and management of acutely unwell patients, and contribute to timely decision-making in collaboration with multidisciplinary colleagues.

The role will involve active participation in clinical governance, audit, morbidity and mortality reviews, service development and quality-improvement initiatives. You will be expected to maintain accurate clinical documentation, contribute to effective discharge planning and ensure that care is delivered in line with current evidence, professional standards and relevant legislation.

As a senior member of the team, you will provide clinical leadership, supervision and support to junior doctors and other healthcare professionals. You may also contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, departmental education programmes and the development of clinical protocols. Effective communication with patients, relatives and colleagues will be essential, particularly when discussing treatment options, risks and expected outcomes.

Applicants must hold full registration with the General Medical Council and be on the Specialist Register in General Surgery, or be eligible for entry within an appropriate timescale. You should have substantial experience in general surgery, including the management of emergency surgical presentations, and be able to demonstrate a commitment to safe, compassionate and inclusive care.

Excellent organisational, leadership and interpersonal skills are required, together with the ability to work effectively under pressure and contribute positively to a collaborative team environment. Evidence of continuing professional development, clinical audit and research or service improvement would be advantageous.
