Main duties of the job

The main duties of the post will be to assist in clinics and elective theatres, as well as the on‑call rota. It is intended to offer appointees, where possible, equivalent opportunities for personal development as a SpR, i.e. a study leave entitlement and allocated study leave budget.

The timetable is arranged on a weekly basis by the current Senior SpR. You will be allocated to a number of theatre and outpatient sessions that will vary each week. Careful attention is made that all middle grades have equal opportunities in these areas.

Academic afternoons are held every Friday. Sessions include audit, mortality and morbidity, clinic pathological conferences, and junior staff teaching, guest lectures, interdepartmental meetings etc. Clinical activities are kept to a minimum to include emergency cover only, so that all members of each team can attend.

In addition, each consultant firm holds a weekly multidisciplinary team meeting to discuss cases with appropriate fellow professionals. All doctors are expected to keep up‑to‑date with their clinic letter dictation.
