The data is entered into the local Northumbria Hip Preservation Registry and the UK Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry., It is estimated that during a year you will be exposed to 70-80 Periacetabular Osteotomies, 150 Hip arthroscopies and 200 primary joint replacement, concentrating on individuals within the younger adult age groups.

You will work within a department of 30 consultants who are all keen to improve practice, successfully adopting enhanced recovery for patients undergoing elective joint replacement.

You should be GMC registered and hold the MBBS or equivalent medical qualification and FRCS (T&O) qualifications with one of the Surgical Colleges of Great Britain and Ireland.
