Trust Doctor (eqv to ST3) in Vascular Surgery | Barts Health NHS Trust

Barts Health is looking for a fixed term (12 months) Vascular Surgery Fellow who will be predominantly based at the Royal London Hospital site with responsibilities across the Trust hospitals sites.

The post would suit a Post CT2/Specialist registrar who has completed core surgical training, or at any stage of higher training, who wishes to continue to maintain and gain experience in vascular and endovascular surgery. The successful applicant will participate in a dedicated vascular surgery rota with no general surgery commitment.

The successful candidate will be required to adhere to the Trust’s policy on Maintaining Medical Excellence and to be committed to maintaining their standard of performance by keeping their knowledge and skills up to date.

The hospitals offer a full portfolio of services that serve the needs of the local community and are home to some of Britain’s leading specialist centres including cancer, cardiac, trauma and emergency care. Barts Health also has one of the UK’s busiest children’s hospitals and internationally renowned surgical facilities. As well as outpatients, emergency service is provided 24/7 by expert multi-disciplinary teams and because there are larger pools of expert staff, more services are provided for patients
seven days a week and for more hours of the day, providing prompt access to treatment in
all departments and helping reduce waits and cancellations. Patients will also be able to take part in a wider range of clinical trials, knowing they will be treated by teams working at the
forefront of innovation.

The Vascular surgery unit is also, crucially, part of a wider network of vascular provision delivered by Barts Health, including services at Newham, The Royal London, Whipps Cross, St. Barts and Homerton. The unit specialists will work with these and other hospitals in the area to provide a comprehensive network of care for patients and ensure that the majority of care is provided as close to home as possible.

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.
