Specialty Doctor - Cardiothoracic Surgery

The post holder will be working with a team of Consultants, Specialty Doctors, Trust Doctors, Specialty Trainees, Core Trainees and Foundation Trainees. Each post has a generic clinical component in the relevant area. In addition the post holder will have an agreed experience in the specialty of their choice including outpatient clinics, ward cover, specialist in-patient reviews and procedures, audit and research. It is prudent to be a team player with excellent inter-personal skills.

The Specialty Doctors and Clinical Fellows are not, at present, attached to individual consultants, but will have mixed duties in theatre, Intensive Care and the wards, plus local and occasional peripheral clinics. They will cover duties for people on leave, assist in administrative duties and audit. With 8 people in the tier the total annual leave entitlement means that there will nearly always be one or two people away on leave. Prospective cover for colleagues leave is included in the pay structure.
