Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The Oxford Trauma Service provides a high quality consultant led and delivered care for the local population of Oxfordshire and Thames Valley Major Trauma Network.
The new appointee will form part of a team, managing patients with Major Trauma injuries and providing surgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. The appointee will have individual consultant responsibilities, but these will be performed within a team environment, which provides excellent opportunities for further personal and professional development.
The Trauma Department at the Horton General Hospital leads on hip fracture surgery for the trust and has been in the top 5 performing hospitals on the NHFD for 10 years. It takes a typical DGH caseload. As part of the directorate and trust strategy of operating on patients on the most appropriate site existing JR consultants have regular ambulant trauma day case lists at the Horton. It is envisaged that as part of the change made to allow the two departments to work closer together, this post will have a majority of sessions at the JR site with a minority carried out at the Horton.
The post would be suitable for a fully trained Orthopaedic Trauma surgeon, with relevant experience from the UK or abroad, who wishes to further develop their skills in the Surgical management of musculoskeletal Trauma. It is essential that the candidate can demonstrate fellowship level training in Orthopaedic Trauma surgery at a recognised Major or Level 1 Trauma Centre.

There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
