Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon

To develop and provide a comprehensive Oncoplastic Breast Surgical Service to the patients of County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust., The post advertised is for a new substantive oncoplastic breast post. The post will not attract general surgery on call duties. Breast oncoplastic (ISCP, CCT) training is essential, fellowship experience is optional.

Taking this into account it is proposed that a successful candidate will spend most of their programmed activities working Trust wide, at either Darlington Memorial Hospital or University Hospital of North Durham. It is expected that the role would involve programmed activities at other hospitals within the Trust such as Bishop Auckland Hospital (pending Elective hub approval and joint working with plastic surgery for appropriate cases such as free flap reconstruction).

Four surgeons are supported in providing a breast service to a population of approximately 650,000 by the expected MDT members including three plastic surgeons. The trust is currently rated Good by the Care Quality Commission.
