Job overview

We are delighted to announce the further recruitment to our highly competitive General Surgery Clinical Fellow programme. After the successful delivery of this programme over the last 3 years, specifically designed to develop trainees' ability to progress into training programmes, we are looking to appoint the next cohort of full-time Clinical Fellows (CFs) to start in August on an initial 12-month contract. Applicants should have a major interest in a career in General Surgery. MRCS or equivalent is desirable but not essential; basic clinical surgical skills (FY2 or equivalent) should be demonstrated. The successful applicant is expected to perform at the level of a Day 1 Core Surgical Trainee.

Candidates must be fully registered with the General Medical Council and eligible to work in the UK. We reserve the right to close this advertisement early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.

Main duties include:

• Gaining wide experience and training in all aspects of General Surgery.
• Working with a team of 12 Consultant Surgeons supported by registrars, SHOs, and FY1s.
• Opportunities for specialist training in emergency, colorectal, or upper GI surgery.
• Managing outpatient clinics, operating independently or under supervision, assisting and training as appropriate.
• Participation in MDT meetings, daily ward rounds, supervision of junior staff, and active participation in audit, governance, and research.
• Teaching medical students and surgical trainees, and participating in pre and post-operative care.
• Participation in the middle grade on-call rota (currently 1 in 10, subject to change).

The job description is not exhaustive; other duties may be assigned in consultation with clinical colleagues and the designated Consultant.

Our values define us as #TeamUHD, underpinning our interactions with patients, visitors, and colleagues. UHD is investing in services following the merger and the New Hospital Programme, which may involve site relocations.
