Summary
The appointment is for a whole time non-resident Fellow in Cornea and Anterior Segment. This is a one year clinical fellowship programme, working with Professor HS Dua, Mr T Mohammad and Mrs DG Said, with other consultants as required. As a tertiary centre for East Midlands, we perform around 150 corneal transplant (DSEAK, DMEK, DALK or PK) per year, as well as limbal cell transplants and other specialised procedures not performed in other units.
This post is designed as a post CCST position but those nearing completion of their specialist training programme or equivalent will be considered. Please note however that the period may not be accredited for CCST training by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.
As part of our commitment to provide the best care to our patients, we will in the near future be extending our Ophthalmology service to include some evening and weekend work. As a member of the team you will be expected to participate in the provision of this extended service on a rota basis.
The department has a heavy teaching and training commitment towards medical students, specialist trainees, nurses and other visiting doctors. The appointee will be expected to contribute to this educational activity from time totime.
The Ophthalmology Department is situated in a purpose-built Eye and ENT Unit at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and comprises a team of 26 consultants providing general and specialist ophthalmic care for the Nottingham area and beyond. The department undertakes teaching for 150 medical students per annum and training for medical and nursing staff. NUH is a tertiary referral centre for many eye conditions.
Working predominately with Professor HS Dua, Mr T Mohammad, and Mrs DG Said, the main commitment of the post will be to cornea and anterior segment but the Fellow will be expected to deliver appropriate care to patients with other eye conditions where necessary. This will provide the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of diagnosis and treatment.
Duties are principally at Nottingham University Hospitals, but occasional visits may be required to other hospitals.
Proposed timetable to include:-
• 5 cornea specialist clinics
• 2 operating lists with Cornea consultants
• 1 Eye Casualty / Cornea Rapid Access Clinic
• 1 Research / Admin Session
• 1 Teaching / Postgraduate teaching
