This post is specific to hip and knee primary and revision arthroplasty and non-arthroplasty hip surgery.
The successful candidate will work with Professor Tim Board (hip primary and revision arthroplasty, primary knee arthroplasty and non-arthroplasty hip surgery) and Mr Anil Gambhir (primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty). Both of whom receive large numbers of tertiary referrals from across the North West and further afield.
The unit is at the forefront of modern arthroplasty techniques and you will be exposed to techniques such as direct anterior hip replacement, day case hip arthroplasty, hip arthroscopy, single and two stage revision for infection, paediatric hip replacement, impaction bone grafting and many others.
This fellow post is purely based at Wrightington although there is the opportunity to partake in trauma lists. There will be exposure to periprosthetic fracture treatment as both TNB and AKG are involved in the periprosthetic fracture trauma rota.
Surgeons from the UK and around the world who are undertaking training at Wrightington are at the end of or beyond their formal training programme - they represent the very best of surgeons in training.
There is ample opportunity for basic science and clinical research, with the support of our research team, as well as the Trust's very active and dynamic R&D Department. Research and teaching are regarded as an integral part of the job.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information available by contacting Covid-19.vaccine@wwl.nhs.uk where you can also find out more about how to access vaccinations. There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
Other Duties Include:
• Ward Cover, Clerking of new admissions, attendance at ward rounds.
• Attendance at Orthopaedic out-patient clinics with the Consultant
• Minimum four operating sessions per week
• Cover for colleagues in Orthopaedic Unit during periods of leave.
• Writing discharge letters, liaising with GPs as necessary regarding discharges. Legibly completing outcome proformas in the out-patient clinics.
