An exciting opportunity has arisen for a LocumConsultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics (with a specialist interest in knee or upper limb trauma)to join the Trauma and Orthopaedics Directorate at University Hospitals Dorset (UHD).
This post is a purely trauma position, fixed term for 12 months, with the anticipation of a substantive consultant post in the next 12 months with a profile to suit the needs of the department.
Trauma and Orthopaedics at UHD is a large and well-established service with cross site working. Currently, trauma and paediatric surgery are undertaken on the Poole site, which is the largest fragility fracture centre in Europe with over 1200 patients attending per year requiring surgery and a trauma bed base of over 100 beds. Elective orthopaedics is currently undertaken at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital with a dedicated ring-fenced orthopaedic facility.
As a major part of the formation of UHD in 2020, an extensive clinical service review and reconfiguration is underway. Royal Bournemouth Hospital will become the acute site and Poole Hospital will become the planned care site, with a planned launch in early 2026. As such UHD will be the largest single site Elective Surgical Hub in the UK.
Key to the success and future of the Trauma and Orthopaedics Directorate are the close working relationships with the Dorset Integrated Care System, the UHD Strategy and Transformation Directorate and the Institute of Orthopaedic Research at Bournemouth University.
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have about this at interview.
To understand the role in more detail please read the full job description and person specification documents which are attached to this advert.
