1. DUTIES OF THE POST a) Principal Responsibilities - Clinical Work The Oxford Trauma service was established in 1941 and continues to innovate and lead in the field of orthopaedic Trauma. The Consultants in the service specialise in the pathology and treatment of Orthopaedic Trauma rather than a specific anatomic region.

The Oxford Trauma Service is determined that the Trueta fellowship is the premier Orthopaedic Trauma fellowship in the UK and is competitive internationally. It is a prestigious post-CCT fellowship for two UK or International surgeons who will spend 12 months training in our servicebefore taking up a consultant post in a University Major Trauma or Level 1 Trauma Centre. This fellowship will focus predominantly on surgery with each fellow spending 9.5+ PAs a week in theatre: they are not on the oncall rota.

Continuous reflection and development is integral to our service with daily review of all operative work collectively. The service regards critical but constructive appraisal of ones own and others work is essential to develop as a surgeon.
