Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon - C9318-24-1304

In 2014, the Trust centralised all inpatient arterial vascular surgery for the network onto one site and vascular workload has increased since completion of the Network agreement with Swindon (Yielding a population of around 1 million). A wide variety of vascular conditions are treated by the service. We have a state-of-the-art Hybrid theatre and a full range of vascular and endovascular procedures are performed. The post holders will benefit from a substantial existing practice in aortic aneurysm surgery, both EVAR and open, carotid surgery, arterial bypass and reconstructive surgery, and venous intervention (including open surgery, foam sclerotherapy, endothermal ablation as well as acute and chronic deep venous intervention). We are well supported by nearby Tertiary Vascular Units for supra-renal and thoracic aortic work.

We are a large organisation providing acute services from Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in Gloucester and Cheltenham General Hospital to a population of 652,475 in Gloucestershire as well as caring for patients from surrounding counties and beyond.

The Vascular Network also provides acute and emergency services for the population of Great Western Hospitals in Swindon and North Wiltshire (344,000).

Our workforce is almost 8,000 strong and our caring and dedicated staff are recognised as providing good and outstanding patient-centred, high quality emergency, elective and specialist care across a range of clinical areas.

We are committed to recruiting the best people to work with us to achieve our Vision of providing 'Best Care for Everyone' and our success depends on the commitment and dedication of our staff, many of whom are world leaders in healthcare, teaching and research.
