A Vacancy at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
An excellent opportunity has arisen to provide a 12 months fellowship in Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery, following an exciting collaboration between The South West Cleft Services, The Cleft Collective and Craniofacial Australia.
TheSouth West Cleft Services, based at the University Hospital North Bristol and Weston NHS Trust in Bristol, is one of the 9 national cleft centres that caters for patients with cleft lip and palate from the South West of England. We are accredited to provide the whole spectrum of care for patients with cleft lip and palate, including surgery, psychology, speech therapy, dental and orthodontic care and specialist cleft nurse support. The hub unit at Bristol accepts referrals from the South West of England. Outreach Clinics take place in Gloucester, Taunton, Exeter, Plymouth and Truro throughout the year. We treat 70+ new babies per annum and also have a significant caseload of children and adults with non-cleft related VPD (velopharyngeal dysfunction). We host specialist clinics for children and adults with 22q11 deletion and well as regular nasendoscopy and videofluoroscopy speech investigation clinics. We also manage a constant case load of patients with facial deformity and have an ever-increasing case load of patients with craniofacial deformities.
Cleft clinics:The Fellow will attend all the multidisciplinary clinics based at the hub unit in Bristol. There will also be opportunities to attend peripheral clinics, speech investigation clinics and cleft audit clinics. All aspects of the management of the patient with cleft lip and palate will be covered.
Operative Surgery:The Fellow will attend operating lists at The Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and at The Bristol Royal Infirmary to achieve competence, including the management of complications, in the techniques of primary and secondary cleft surgery standardised in the unit. The Fellow will fully participate in pre- and post-operative care of patients on the operating lists they attend.
Research Responsibilities:The Fellow will join the research team at The Cleft Collective and spend 1.5 days undertaking research. A research project will be allocated to the Fellow at the start of the fellowship, following discussion with the research team at The Cleft Collective and the clinical supervisors at The South West Cleft Services.
Teaching:The Fellow will be expected to contribute to the teaching of undergraduate medical students, core surgical trainees and higher surgical trainees on a regular basis either through lectures or tutorials. He or she will also participate in the development of teaching materials.
