Working for our organisation
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview., The post holder will be employed in the Trauma & Orthopaedic Department at UHD and based on the elective Bournemouth Site with additional sessions in trauma on the Poole site. This system has been in place for over 21 years and is well established.
All aspects of elective and traumatic conditions affecting the knee are covered between the two Trusts. This post is aimed at year 5/6 Specialist Trainees or higher.
It is anticipated that applicants will already have received training in intermediate Knee surgery, although this is not essential. This post will offer experience of uni-compartment knee replacements, total knee replacements, revision knee replacements and techniques such as high tibial osteotomy. Facilities for clinical and basic science research are available. There is no on call commitment associated with this post.
Please note:
Staff recruited are expected to be available to work flexibly across all our Trust locations to meet service demands.
