Provisional Interview date: 22nd July 2024

An exciting opportunity has arisen for full-time, fixed-term Junior Clinical Fellows to join our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery team at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust.

We are one of the leading teaching hospitals in the UK, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities. It is the home of Warwick Medical School, providing wide-ranging opportunities to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research. UHCW is situated in the heart of the West Midlands with easy access to the rural Warwickshire countryside, Birmingham and London.

The successful candidates will be primarily responsible for looking after in-patients and emergency referrals to OMFS, and assisting in emergency and elective theatre activity. There will opportunity to gain exposure to many areas of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, which may include Craniomaxillofacial Trauma, Orthognathics, Temporomandibular joint surgery, the full remit of head and neck surgery including reconstructive surgery and thyroid surgery.

N.B. We reserve the right to close a vacancy before the closing date if we receive a high volume of applications or if there has been a change in organisational priorities.

The successful candidate’s clinical sessions will initially be at UHCW but in the future may include some out-patient clinical activity at either Hospital of St Cross, Rugby, Warwick Hospital or George Eliot Hospital Nuneaton. Duties and responsibilities include:
• Work with other members of the Maxillofacial team to provide a comprehensive general surgical service to the Trust, Primary Care Trusts and General Practitioners
• Participate in the Maxillofacial second on-call rota to ensure that appropriate emergency services are provided out-of-normal working hours.
• Provide a consultation and advisory service to clinical colleagues in other specialties within the Trust and Primary Care when on-call.
• Develop and maintain collaborative relationships with medical colleagues in other specialties and participate in regular clinical meetings and other post graduate activities.
• Participate in the professional supervision and development of trainee doctors within the specialty.
• Demonstrate a firm understanding in Clinical Governance, Risk Management and Clinical Audit – this will include the development and maintenance of appropriate systems and practices to ensure continued safe clinical practice.

The timetable will be dependent on the clinical experience and educational aspirations of the appointed candidate, but they should expect to spend some time in different subspecialty areas of OMFS akin to a registrar rotation.
