Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery-Head and Neck

A golden opportunity has arisen for a full-time Consultant in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to join the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW NHS Trust). This is a replacement post with opportunity to develop a subspecialty interest, although an interest in Trauma and TMJ Surgery would be an advantage.

This large and dynamic Trust moved to a new PFI site in July 2006 and is now one of the leading teaching hospitals in the UK, as well as an Adult Major Trauma Centre, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities. It is the clinical home of Warwick Medical School, providing wide-ranging opportunities to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research. UHCW is situated in the heart of the West Midlands with easy access to the rural Warwickshire countryside, Birmingham and London.

We intend to appoint a dynamic team player who will take part in the general adult and paediatric Oral & Maxillofacial services, and who will be encouraged to develop a subspecialty interest that complements the department and meets the needs of the local population.

The successful candidate will form part of a team of consultants providing a comprehensive Oral & maxillofacial Surgery service to the population of Coventry and Warwickshire. In-patient operating and some clinical activity will be at the University Hospital, but the successful candidate's remaining clinical sessions are likely to include a peripheral site which may be at Warwick Hospital, Rugby St Cross Hospital or the George Eliot Hospital, Nuneaton.
