An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Ophthalmology department at BHRUT as a Specialty Doctor in Oculoplastics, to work with the team to develop and streamline our services. We warmly welcome you to our busy and dynamic team, which delivers a comprehensive and specialised Ophthalmology service to a population of over 750,000. Our team boasts of highly experienced specialists in Medical Retina, Cornea, Paediatrics, Neuro-Ophthalmology , Glaucoma and Oculoplastics. We have a close working relationship with other specialties within the Trust that further support the service., The successful candidate will have a broad experience in the management of ophthalmology outpatients and will have to engage in all aspects of ophthalmology patient pathways.

The workload will include oculoplastics clinics and eye casualty sessions, and the post holder will also be expected to fulfil the following duties within the agreed job plan:

- Provision and development of exceptional ophthalmology services

- Continuing responsibility for the care of patients in his/her charge and the proper functioning of the department

- Actively participate in clinical governance and audits

- Actively participate in departmental meetings

These duties are subject to review from time to time in the light of the changing requirements of the service.

We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with. We're no longer in special measures; we've opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.

We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.

Our patients are benefitting from our Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch.

These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 88,000 scans a year.

The majority of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
