Locum Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedics

The Trust wishes to appoint a locum orthopaedic consultant to accommodate demand in the subspecialty of paediatric orthopaedics. This locum appointment has become available to bridge the gap between a current consultant leaving and a new substantive appointment being made.
The Department provides services to the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire and acts as a tertiary referral center for complex cases such as foot and ankle, spine, paediatrics, non-unions and pelvic injuries from North Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
Hull is a Major Trauma Centre within the Yorkshire Trauma Network. There is a robust governance structure including bimonthly governance meetings and a morbidity and mortality meeting, The candidate would be expected to be confident with routine elective paediatric operations including epiphysiodesis/hemiepiphysiodesis, foot deformity correction, hip reconstruction and open reductions (on a joint list with a consultant colleague). They would have access to fortnightly all day paediatric elective lists and monthly all-day day case lists. Colleagues are happy to support for complex cases.
