Senior Fellow in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction (Feb 2025)

The Fellow will play a crucial role in the limb reconstruction team, covering elective theatre sessions, outpatient clinics and ward work. This will involve complex acute trauma and post-traumatic conditions such as bone infection, non-union and deformity correction. This does not involve pelvic & ace tabular surgery, although there may be the opportunity to get involved in this if desired. A crucial element of the role will be liaising with other specialties, such as plastic surgery & microbiology, in the day to day management of complex trauma cases.

This job is suitable for a post-FRCS (Orth) or post-CCT trainee who is looking for experience in the field of complex trauma and limb reconstruction, and is committed to a career in this field.
