• Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust (BHT)
• Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUHFT)
• Royal Berkshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (RBHFT)

Main duties of the job

The postholder's duties will be in the John Radcliffe Hospital and cover for the Thames Valley Vascular Network hospitals. The postholder will be expected to cover the full range of elective and emergency endovascular and open surgery in Oxford. Rarely this may involve the management of paediatric cases. They will work within a team which covers Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire patients and will be expected to provide cross cover for leave. The department runs a Consultant of the Week arrangement for the on-call cover and the responsibility for all in-patients rests with the Consultant of the Week when the post holder is off site.

All aspects of vascular surgery are undertaken by the vascular surgical department with most common procedures:

• Aortic disorders - Open and endovascular procedures undertaken including complex aortic repairs. Close collaboration with cardiac service to offer a comprehensive service
• Carotid endarterectomy - one of the busiest centres for surgical treatment of carotid disease including carotid stenting
• Complex management of peripheral vascular disease including diabetic foot disorder - strong link with the Oxford Bone infection unit and OCDEM to offer a comprehensive diabetic foot service

Personal and Professional Development

Mentoring will be provided by a senior member of the department for the first year of working and for any additional needs beyond this time.

The post-holder will be required to keep himself/herself fully up to date with their relevant area of practice and to be able to demonstrate this to the satisfaction of the Trust.
