A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.
We are seeking to appoint a full-time Consultant Ophthalmologist (Glaucoma) to deliver high-quality glaucoma care. The job plan comprises 8.5 programmed activities for direct clinical care (including associated administrative duties) and 1.5 sessions of supporting professional activity (SPA).
The Glaucoma service manages a substantial caseload each year, with over 6,000 outpatient appointments, around 3,500 asynchronous reviews, and more than 350 glaucoma and cataract surgical procedures. Patients with mild to moderate disease are supported through a well-established community service, ensuring hospital capacity is focused on those with more complex needs.
Consultant Ophthalmologist Specialising in Glaucoma
The post-holder will have substantial surgical expertise in glaucoma and cataract surgery, including filtration procedures, glaucoma drainage device implantation, and revision surgery, reflecting the scope of theatre sessions for this role. In addition to subspecialty expertise in glaucoma management, the post-holder will have broad experience in general ophthalmology outpatient care and will contribute to all stages of the ophthalmology patient pathway, including through a programmed Eye Casualty session.
The post-holder will be expected to contribute actively to the education, training, and supervision of medical, nursing, and allied health professional staff within the department. This includes direct clinical supervision of ophthalmology trainees in outpatient clinics, operating theatres, and laser sessions, ensuring that patient care and trainee development are maintained to the highest standards.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a newelectronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have beenrated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need totransform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of theNorth East London Cancer Alliance
We run aWomen’s Health Hub in Ilford; anAgeing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) atBarking Community Hospital and atSt George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many canwork flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accreditedapprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be aLondon Living Wage employer.
Some of the positive changes we’ve made are captured inthis film.
