The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

The Trust comprises of four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significance difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

Clinical
The postholder’s duties will be in the John Radcliffe Hospital and cover for the Thames Valley Vascular Network hospitals. The postholder will be expected to cover the full range of elective and emergency endovascular and open surgery in Oxford. Rarely this may involve the management of paediatric cases. They will work within a team which covers Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire patients and will be expected to provide cross cover for leave. The department runs a Consultant of the Week arrangement for the on-call cover and the responsibility for all in-patients rests with the Consultant of the week when the post holder is off site.

All aspects of vascular surgery are undertaken by the vascular surgical department with most common procedures:

Aortic disorders – Open and endovascular procedures undertaken including complex aortic repairs. Close collaboration with cardiac service to offer a comprehensive service

Carotid endarterectomy – one of the busiest centres for surgical treatment of carotid disease including carotid stenting

Complex management of peripheral vascular disease including diabetic foot disorder – strong link with the Oxford Bone infection unit and OCDEM to offer a comprehensive diabetic foot service

Management of Venous disease – We provide a tertiary deep venous service with a robust MDT and treatment, using primarily endovascular techniques, for deep venous disorders.

Research/Teaching
OUHFT is a teaching hospital Trust, and the post-holder will be required to participate in programmes for teaching clinical students and training junior doctors. It is expected that research will be an integral part of everyday clinical activity. The postholder’s contribution to teaching, training and research will be included in the regular job plan review.

Personal and Professional Development
Mentoring will be provided by a senior member of the department for the first year of working and for any additional needs beyond this time.

The post-holder will be required to keep himself/herself fully up to date with their relevant area of practice and to be able to demonstrate this to the satisfaction of the Trust. Professional or study leave will be granted at the discretion of the Trust, in line with the prevailing Terms and Conditions of Service, to support appropriate study, postgraduate training activities, relevant CME courses and other appropriate personal development needs. Both Trusts commit to support the postholder through the revalidation process.

Management
The post-holder will be required to work within the Trust's management policies and procedures, both statutory and internal, accepting that the resources available to the Trust are finite and that all changes in clinical practice or workload, or developments requiring additional resources must have prior agreement with the Trust. He/she will undertake the administrative duties associated with the care of his/her patients, and the running of his/her clinical department under the direction of the lead clinician and/or directorate chair.

The outline job plan comprises a total of 10 programmed activities (PAs) per week. This consists of 8.5 direct clinical care PAs and 1.5 supporting professional activity PAs. As this job plan has less than 2.5SPAs there is a commitment by both Trusts to review the job plan within the first 6-12 months. Please see attached Job Description for provisional timetable.

Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information at Oxfordshire County Council Website where you can also find out more about how to access vaccination. There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
