Trust Grade ST3+ Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery

This post is intended to provide middle grade experience for those seeking a career in Trauma & Orthopaedics. Candidates must have completed MRCS, MBBS or equivalent and had Foundation experience or equivalent. Preference will be given to candidates who have basic training in surgery in general, have advanced experience in Orthopaedics and have MRCS, MCh or MS from a reputable institute. There will be an opportunity to attend teaching alongside the Specialist Registrars in the Leicester training programme within the limits of service commitments. While every support will be given to candidates wishing to sit the FRCS (Trauma & Orthopaedics) examination towards the end of the rotation, this cannot be presumed. There is an annual review process when candidates will be given advice on their progress and career progression.

This post offers ample opportunity for training and participation in operating lists with induction and career mentoring by Consultants. Your timetable will include theatre time, clinics, ward rounds and on call commitments as well as protected time for research and admin. The department is committed to education.
