Summary

The successful candidates will have a major interest in orthopaedic trauma management with particular focus on pelvic and acetabular trauma. An elective interest will also be accommodated assuming it fits with the needs of the department. They will be one of 2 lead trauma consultants within one of the 4 orthopaedic trauma teams, each team being made up of 4 consultants.

The specific scheduling of such activities would be subject to mutual agreement and may be agreed at a later date in the future.
