Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is a Major Trauma Centre for North West region. The department provides Secondary Trauma Services to the local area and Tertiary Children’s Trauma for the Greater Manchester area. Tertiary Paediatric Orthopaedic Services include those for children with neuro-muscular problems, limb length discrepancy and congenital hip and foot problems.
Currently there are ten Paediatric Orthopaedic Consultants, twelve middle grade staff including Specialty Trainees from North West Deanery and Specialty Doctors/Clinical Fellows (including this post). There is a Specialist Nurse for patients with an external fixator and an Extended Scope Practitioner in Physiotherapy.
Due to the short-term nature of the role, the successful candidate must hold a current registration with the GMC at the time of application, whether it be an active licence, ceased licence or a pending application -MFT cannot support GMC Sponsorship for vacancies less than 12 months fixed term. Candidates who do not fit this criteria will not progress through to the shortlisting stage.
The main purpose of this role would be to provide a clinical service in Trauma and Orthopaedics and Spinal surgery including fracture clinics, elective clinics, trauma lists, elective lists, ward supervision and on call duties. You will be expected to take part in departmental audits and programmed teaching.
You should be fully registered with the General Medical Council and have significant postgraduate work experience working in an acute setting (or equivalent gained on part-time or flexible basis), in a specialty training programme in orthopaedic surgery or as a fixed term specialty trainee in orthopaedic surgery. A post-graduate qualification relevant to Orthopaedic Surgery is essential. The post conforms to nationally agreed terms and conditions.
MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we’ve launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
