Summary
A Vacancy at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.
The Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery unit is expanding to meet
the needs of the population of East Kent. We are looking for
a dynamic and enthusiastic Head & Neck Surgeon to join a
team of 7 Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. The Trust is going
through a period of redevelopment, having attracted
national investment to deliver a critical care hub for Kent and
Medway. A new 24-bed Intensive Care Unit has been built at
the Willian Harvey Hospital, to include bespoke training
facilities, including dedicated space for in-situ simulation
training. The William Harvey site is also the Trauma centre
for East Kent. Robotic Head & Neck surgery is offered
through the Kent and Canterbury site which is also the
vascular centre for Kent & Medway.
The post-holder will be responsible for the delivery of high quality Maxillo Facial Surgical patient services, including elective and emergency, outpatient, day-case and inpatient management. The Consultant will be responsible for prioritising patient lists for outpatient appointments and admissions within the nationally defined targets.
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with three acute hospitals and community sites serving a local population of around 700,000. We also provide specialist services for Kent and Medway.
We’re on an exciting journey of transformation. With a new Medical School at the centre of our community, a focus on research, clinical leadership and making our trust a rewarding and friendly place to work, there’s never been a better time to join us.
