MYDoc Registrar General Surgery

An opportunity has arisen for dynamic and motivated doctors to join our department for 12 months.

The Department offers a supportive and encouraging environment in which to develop technical and professional skills.

Acute General Surgery has recently been reconfigured with all Emergency Surgery based on the Wakefield site. The surgical registrars participate in a 1:14 rota on a full shift.

The post holder will work alongside the other speciality registrars and will be expected to actively participate in the day to day running of the General Surgical department and will have the opportunity to attend operating theatre sessions and out-patients clinics.

These posts will be part of our cross site senior trainee rota which is compliant with working time regulations and the 2016 junior doctors contract, averaging 48 hours per week., The main duties of the post will include:

Provision of care with responsibility for the management of patients with acute and chronic conditions including complex cases.

Referral of patients to other specialities as appropriate

Out-patient activities/clinics

Involvement in specialty and cross-specialty multi-disciplinary teams and meetings

Involvement in relevant administration duties

Teaching and supervision of junior medical staff and other clinicians as appropriate

Active involvement in audit and clinical governance including service improvement activities

The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and it is likely duties may be altered from time to time in the light of changing circumstances and after discussion with the post holder.

We provide care and support to over a million people in Wakefield and Kirklees in their homes, community settings and across our three hospital sites at Pontefract, Dewsbury and Pinderfields (Wakefield).

Always striving for excellence, we are at the forefront of innovation and research, and we invest in teaching and the development of our workforce.

We live by our values of caring, improving, being respectful and maintaining high standards. We listen and learn because we aim to make Mid Yorkshire the best place to work and receive care.

We value diversity and welcome talent and enthusiasm irrespective of age, disability, neurodivergence, sex, gender identity and gender expression, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or other personal circumstances including providing unpaid carers support to someone with a health and care need. As ethnic minority groups, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people with a disability/neurodivergence are currently under-represented across the organisation, we encourage applications from members of these groups. We have policies and procedures to ensure all applicants are treated fairly and consistently.

We are proud of our staff networks - who offer valuable guidance and feedback from those with lived experience.

We have a clear vision and you could be part of this! If you share our values and you want to make a difference to the lives of our patients and their families and carers, we would love to hear from you.
