Trust Grade in Plastic Surgery (Core Trainee equivalent)

DEPARTMENT: The Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery provides a comprehensive reconstructive surgery service to Oxford and its surrounding areas. We have a consultant-based service. Services provided by the department include craniofacial surgery, cleft lip and palate, upper limb, bone infection, sarcoma, head and neck, breast reconstruction, skin cancer and hypospadias. In 2013 we attained Burn Facility status as part of the London and South East Burn Network. We are fortunate to have our offices, outpatient clinics, theatres, adult and children's wards and day care units co-located in a new block on the John Radcliffe site. The Head & Neck Unit is located in the New Cancer Centre at the nearby Churchill Hospital. The Department has a substantial presence at the nearby Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, where the plastic surgery service has a hand surgery workload, and provides reconstructive support to the Bone Infection Unit and Sarcoma services.

We run 3 theatre lists per day at the John Radcliffe, Monday to Friday (2 elective, one emergency), and emergency lists all day on Saturdays & Sundays. There are theatre lists most days at The Churchill and NOC, and also minor operations lists. Clinics run daily in the John Radcliffe as well as weekly in the Churchill, NOC & Horton Hospitals.
