Detailed job description and main responsibilities
To manage own clinical caseload within planned clinical sessions
To attend clinics as required or delegated by senior colleagues.
Responsible for considering relevant risk assessments or safety guidance in consultations.
To be responsible for reporting any untoward incidents or near misses using relevant reporting systems such as Trust Datix, MHRA or other required reporting systems.

The Trauma Department at the Horton General Hospital leads on hip fracture surgery for the trust and has been in the top 5 performing hospitals on the NHFD for 10 years. It takes a typical DGH caseload. As part of the directorate and trust strategy of operating on patients on the most appropriate site existing JR consultants have regular ambulant trauma day case lists at the Horton. It is envisaged that as part of the change made to allow the two departments to work closer together, this post will have a majority of sessions at the JR site with a minority carried out at the Horton.
The post would be suitable for a fully trained Orthopaedic Trauma surgeon, with relevant experience from the UK or abroad, who wishes to further develop their skills in the Surgical management of musculoskeletal Trauma. It is essential that the candidate can demonstrate fellowship level training in Orthopaedic Trauma surgery at a recognised Major or Level 1 Trauma Centre.
