NORTH BRISTOL NHS TRUST
Senior Clinical Fellow (SpR level) in Trauma
We are advertising to fill posts that will fall vacant from February 2025 & August 2025, and would hope to appoint for slots going forward 12 - 18 months depending on the applications received.
The posts are based at Avon Orthopaedic Centre in the newly built Southmead Hospital. The appointment is based within the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at North Bristol NHS Trust. This is the main Elective Orthopaedic Unit in Bristol and one of the Regional Specialist Orthopaedic Centre's in the UK.
Southmead Hospital is a Major Trauma Centre, covering a wide area of the south-west of England.
The Trust is a regional centre of Neurosurgery and Plastic surgery. A tertiary referral service is provided for pelvic and acetabular injuries, and for complex spinal injuries.
The department works in conjunction with the Geriatric Trauma consultants to provide care to elderly patients.
Orthopaedic trauma services are provided on Level 2 of the Brunel Building at Southmead Hospital. A minimum of 2 trauma lists run Monday to Friday, with one running for a third session. Specialist lists occur almost daily, including orthoplastic a minimum of 3 times per week, and pelvic list once a week. A single trauma list runs on the weekends.
New patient fracture clinics occur 7 days per week, with follow-up clinics 4 days per week. Specialist clinics include orthoplastic, complex trauma and pelvic clinics occur in addition to these.
Trauma services are provided by a team of consultants for each day of the week. Two consultants are present at weekends.
We treat some of the most difficult medical conditions, in an increasingly complex patient population. Our vision is to be the provider of choice for patients needing our specialist care. We want to deliver innovative services with excellent clinical outcomes in the most appropriate setting for our patients. We are committed to maintaining a culture of openness, transparency, and candour in all we do and especially in the way we communicate with our patients and their families.
