Overview

The Oxford Trauma Service provides high quality consultant-led care for the local population of Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley Major Trauma Network. A Consultant post in Trauma Orthopaedic Surgery with a specialist interest in Shoulder and Elbow is available now at the John Radcliffe Hospital. The appointment is on a full-time basis. Candidates are invited to contact the department for information. Main duties of the job

The post holder’s duties will be primarily at The John Radcliffe Hospital but, as part of the directorate strategy of bringing together the two trust trauma departments, the appointee’s job plan will include a portion of Horton General Hospital activities. It is a condition of the appointment that the post holder will be willing to work in any of the Trust’s locations. The Trauma Department at the Horton General Hospital leads on hip fracture surgery for the trust and has been in the top 5 performing hospitals on the NHFD for 10 years. It takes a typical District General Hospital caseload. Existing JR consultants have regular ambulant trauma day case lists at the Horton. As part of the change to enable closer collaboration between departments, the post will have a majority of sessions at the JR site with a minority at the Horton. The post would be suitable for a fully trained Orthopaedic Trauma surgeon, with relevant experience from the UK or abroad, who wishes to further develop skills in the surgical management of musculoskeletal trauma. It is essential that the candidate can demonstrate fellowship level training in Orthopaedic Trauma surgery at a recognised Major or Level 1 Trauma Centre. Working for our organisation

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research. The Trust comprises four hospitals – the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital, and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington, and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury. Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know this makes a significant difference to your job satisfaction and, above all, the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families. Detailed job description and main responsibilities

The Oxford Trauma Service provides a high quality consultant-led and delivered care for the local population of Oxfordshire and Thames Valley Major Trauma Network. The new appointee will form part of a team, managing patients with Major Trauma injuries and providing surgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. The appointee will have individual consultant responsibilities, but these will be performed within a team environment, which provides opportunities for further personal and professional development. The Trauma Department at Horton General Hospital leads on hip fracture surgery for the trust and has been in the top 5 performing hospitals on NHFD for 10 years. It takes a typical district general hospital caseload. As part of the directorate and trust strategy of operating on patients at the most appropriate site, existing JR consultants have regular ambulant trauma day case lists at the Horton. It is envisaged that, as part of the change to allow the two departments to work closer together, this post will have a majority of sessions at the JR site with some sessions at Horton. The post would be suitable for a fully trained Orthopaedic Trauma surgeon, with relevant experience from the UK or abroad, who wishes to further develop their skills in the surgical management of musculoskeletal trauma. It is essential that the candidate can demonstrate fellowship level training in Orthopaedic Trauma surgery at a recognised Major or Level 1 Trauma Centre. Person specification
