Practice will involve parotidectomies, neck, axilla and ilio-inguinal lymph-node dissections, sentinel lymph-node biopsies and complex reconstruction of major defects with locoregional and free flaps.

You will attend the out-patient departments and the operating theatres as required by the consultants.
