Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics

The appointee will be expected to carry out the whole spectrum of surgery within knee arthroplasty surgery managing their own elective practice, including in terms of outpatients, day cases and inpatients, as well as the full spectrum of trauma that is admitted to NNUH. The successful candidate will need to be competent in primary management of all areas of acute trauma, although support in specialist areas such as paediatrics & spines is provided and referral of complex cases to colleagues with specialist interests is common. The new consultant should expect to receive referrals for complex problems related to their subspecialty interest. These cases will be accommodated in their elective / additional trauma lists. All consultants in T&O at NNUH share office space, junior doctor & secretarial support & the successful candidate will be expected to do so on an equitable basis.
