Crynodeb
The job plan is likely to consist of two corneal operating sessions a week at Frimley, one high volume cataract list a week at Heatherwood, and a monthly crosslinking list at Frimley, as well as corneal/external disease clinics at Frimley. The corneal team is lead by Mr Tom Poole, Ms Hala Ali, and Ms Han Bin Lee. The successful candidate will be supervised by Mr Tom Poole. The corneal service has access to NHSBT corneal material and US corneal material, with no current shortage in supply. The department has a Bausch and Lomb Victus femtosecond laser which we use for mushroom DALK, PK, SALK and CAIRS. The successful candidate is expected to be on the general ophthalmology on-call rota (currently 1:12) and be involved in the training of specialist trainees and specialty doctors in theatre and in clinic. There will be opportunities to carry out audit and research. Candidates are required to be registered with the General Medical Council and hold a licence to practice. Possession of FRCOphth/MRCOphth or equivalent ophthalmic qualification is necessary. Applicants should be at senior Specialist Trainee grade or equivalent and be near to completing or have completed their higher specialist training in ophthalmology. Candidates should have already performed 400 phacoemulsification cataract surgeries and the ideal candidate will be able to perform high volume cataract surgery independently. The post is intended as a step up from specialist training, with a view to developing the clinical, management and leadership skills to prepare the successful applicant for a consultant post specialising in cornea and external eye disease.
