Summary
The secondary care orthodontic service in Lincolnshire is a Trust-wide hub and spoke service. The administrative centre is based in Lincoln County Hospital, where this post is based. Any national/external duties which relate to the consultants professional role and responsibilities can be factored into a job plan with agreement of the head and neck surgery clinical director and the orthodontic lead clinician. Consultants are encouraged where possible to also attend regional orthodontic audit and specialty training committee meetings. It is intended that the successful candidate will join the existing team of orthodontists who work in the secondary care sector in Lincolnshire. The workload consists of new, review and treatment patients, the majority of whom fall within IOTN 5. Most referrals come from GDPs, primary care specialists or DwSIs and many cases are managed collaboratively with Maxillofacial colleagues. Patients are also seen for consultant second opinions when clinically appropriate. It is expected that the successful candidate will be prepared to work closely with the Area Team commissioners and the primary care orthodontic providers as part of the managed clinical network (MCN) to ensure that an effective and comprehensive orthodontic service is available to the population of Lincolnshire. Audit The hospital has an agreed rolling programme of audit sessions timetabled one year in advance and the orthodontic department combines with the maxillofacial surgeons to participate in this. South Yorkshire and East Midlands deaneries have combined regional orthodontic audit days to enable the regional consultants to liaise, plan and join in with regional and national clinical governance. Teaching and education There is a postgraduate medical education centre and an excellent medical library which serves all medical personnel in Lincolnshire, situated at the County Hospital Lincoln. In the library there is a qualified librarian in charge and borrowing facilities with the British Library. Postgraduate dental education courses are also held in Lincoln Hospital in the education centre and the dental skills room. The Trust is committed to further education and wherever possible funding will be provided for audit or research programmes. Individual research is encouraged as far as facilities allow and our links with the new Lincoln Medical School and University of Lincoln will allow us to foster this.
