Summary

A Vacancy at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.

This post is ideal for doctors with surgical interest with a minimum equivalent experience of CT2. This post provides further experience for individuals aiming to apply for core surgical training or ST3 in general surgery or urology

FULL-TIME – 48 HOURS PER WEEK

including participation in a rolling oncall rota

The on-call rota will include regular night cover for surgical wards at the East Midlands Planned Care Centre.

The successful candidate will be allocated to a base surgical firm of either upper GI, colorectal, HPB or urology. Rotation between firms will be required as per the discretion of the rota coordinator. Rotation between firms when indicated will provide a diverse experience and breadth of clinical knowledge analogous to core training rotations (CST) or junior registrar rotations (ST3-4).

There will be opportunities to gain clinical experience from consultant-led ward rounds, clinics and theatre sessions. Exposure to emergency experience in the form of acute surgical assessment and emergency CEPOD theatres will be available.

Oncall shifts at the EMPCC necessitate management of postoperative patients at the highest standard of care. Efficient team working and effective communication with senior surgeons and EMPCC nursing staff will be essential.

Participation in the junior doctor teaching programme is expected and opportunity to partake in quality improvement projects will be available e.g. The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals:

• high-quality care for all,

• being a great place to work,

• partnerships for impact, and

• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,

• we are proud,

• we are inclusive, and

• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
