University Hospital of North Midlands NHS TrustThis post is not recognised as a formal training slot; however, the training opportunities will be the same as the other Specialist Registrars. The successful applicant may be assigned to either a senior or junior registrar position depending on seniority and on the registrar allocation from within the region.
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 a sub-speciality (depending on availability) including outpatient clinics, ward cover, specialist in-patient reviews and procedures, audit, and research. It is prudent to be a team player with excellent interpersonal skills.
The precise role within each team and the proportion of clinical time spent between the two components would depend on the previous clinical experience and qualifications of the candidate and the sub-specialty chosen. For candidates with substantial experience in trauma and orthopaedics and FRCS or equivalent qualifications, an advanced training position can be offered depending on assessment at interview as well as knowledge, skills, aptitude, and previous competencies achieved in the specialty.
