Summary
The post holder will join the Specialist Registrars daily and on call rota. The post holder will be one of two Microsurgical Fellows in the Department. The 2 Fellows will be expected to work together to ensure organisation of the day to day work and to share out the microsurgical work equitably. The Fellow will work closely with all Consultants in the care of both routine and emergency clinical problems. It is expected that the post holder will have the opportunity to attend the majority of the microsurgical procedures; however, it is not to the exclusion of the experience and requirements of the Specialist Registrars training. The Microsurgical Fellow should reach a level that they learn to supervise less experienced trainees in microsurgery. The postholder will see all patients admitted to the Plastic Surgery Unit and perform a daily ward round with the other Specialist Registrars and junior doctors. The postholder is required to see plastic surgical emergency patients in the Emergency Departments of the Trust Hospitals and patients referred to the service from other specialties in the Trust. The Fellow will be expected to provide support to the Major Trauma Centre at St Marys Hospital. The Fellow will be expected to assist Consultants in the operating theatre and will undertake elective and emergency surgery personally, with supervision when appropriate. The Fellow will attend weekly outpatient clinics. The Fellow with their colleagues will ensure adequate teaching and supervision is provided for the Plastic Surgery junior doctors. It is the responsibility of the Fellow to ensure that communication within the Plastic Surgery service is as effective as possible, keeping both the Consultants and Senior Nursing staff informed of the clinical management of all patients admitted to the Plastic Surgery wards. Detailed protocols for clinical management are available in the department which the postholder is expected to adhere to at all times.
