Applications are invited to apply for the above post for the Orthopaedic Trauma Department at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Headington, Oxford, OX3 9DU and the Orthopaedic Trauma Department at the Horton General Hospital, Oxford Road, Banbury, OX16 9AL. We require a Trauma and Orthopaedic Consultant with an interest in general trauma. The appointee will work as part of a team of dedicated orthopaedic trauma surgeons in a Major Trauma Centre serving a catchment population of 3 million and with a substantial tertiary workload, and in a district general hospital which is consistently ranked among the top hospitals for hip fracture surgery nationwide. It is anticipated that this appointment will provide specialist orthopaedic trauma surgical care for our patients suffering with major and multiple injuries, and the full range of surgical care for proximal femoral fragility fractures including total hip arthroplasty. This is integral to this appointment and applicants will need to demonstrate fellowship level training in complex Orthopaedic trauma surgery. We are looking for an applicant who is a team player and has relevant experience in both the management of complex trauma surgery and hip fracture surgery. The appointee will be expected to participate in the on-call rota and may be required to work on any other site as required by the OUH Trust in the future.
