Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the orthopaedic team at Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. A one year fixed term Junior Clinical Fellow Trust doctor post (ST1-2 equivalent) is being offered.
The post holder will work as part of a multidisciplinary team and will predominantly cover the wards with opportunities to be in theatre and out-patient clinics. There are three FY1 doctors who will assist with ward duties. Each day there is a consultant ward round of new admissions and all the remaining orthopaedic patients are seen by a middle grade or consultant each day. There is also a designated orthogeriatric team to assist in the management of patients over 65. There are no on-call commitments with this post although the post holder will be required to do ward duties on every third weekend from 08:00 – 17:00. We believe this post offers unrivalled trauma operative exposure with plenty of opportunity to do: DHS, ankle and wrist fixations. This is quite unique for a modern SHO post. We aim to help you obtain a successful CT application or registrar post.
