Summary

A Vacancy at Northumbria Healthcare - NHCT Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

The Northumbria Lower Limb Arthroplasty Revision fellowship offers an excellent opportunity for a post FRCS senior trainee to gain fellowship experience in hip and knee primary and in particular revision arthroplasty in our busy arthroplasty unit. We perform over two and half thousand primary joint replacements per year, and are the busiest revision arthroplasty unit in the region. The fellow will join our team of five surgeons for a one year fellowship, with attachment to one senior consultant per six months.

We are advertising a 12 month fixed term contract for the periods August 2027-28, and August 2028-29.

Please note we reserve the right to close this vacancy early once a suitable number of applications have been received.

The post will consist of mainly elective and acute arthroplasty, with an option to join the middle grade on call rota (1 in 10 for trauma daytime work alongside the designated consultant). A weekly revision arthroplasty list is a key part of the post, allowing exposure to a large volume of revision cases, and the chance to work alongside all 8 of our revision surgeons. The remainder of the week is filled with elective clinic and theatre sessions, and the revision arthroplasty MDT and complex clinic.

Our unit has a strong track record for clinical improvement. We run one of the leading daycase arthroplasty NHS services in the UK, lead nationally in hip fracture care, and host one of the few bone and joint infection units in the UK. The fellow will be expected to design and implement a clinical improvement project. We support application by the fellow to the BOA future leaders programme.

Candidates should be GMC registered and hold the MBBS or equivalent medical qualification, MRCS (essential) or FRCS (T&O) (desirable) qualifications with one of the Surgical Colleges of Great Britain and Ireland.

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, covering one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country. Leading in innovation and quality - opening a state of the art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. Do you want to work in one of the best performing NHS organisations in England? Work in an organisation that supports its staff and focuses on staff experience as much as it does the experience of its patients? You can live and breathe in an area that has the cleanest air, cost effective living, great nightlife, some of the best schools with a wealth of history available on your doorstep. Sound too good to be true? Well it isn't, this is what you get when you work for Northumbria Healthcare, this is the Northumbria Way! Please read 'applicant guidance notes' before submitting your application.
