Job overview
Manchester NHS Foundation Trust invites applications for a Specialty Registrar in CT Surgery.
The post is based at Wythenshawe Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary and provides a wide range of inpatient and acute services, with approximately 1000 beds. The large tertiary cardiothoracic unit includes the specialties of cardiology, cardiac and thoracic surgery, heart & lung transplantation, and offers VAD and ECMO services. The cardiac and thoracic surgery specialties offer a wide range of adult cardiac surgery, and sole provision of thoracic surgery in Greater Manchester. There are currently 47 cardiothoracic surgery beds, 16 transplant beds, and 31 dedicated cardio‑thoracic critical care beds. Outpatients are based in the dedicated clinic suite of the North West Heart Centre. The post holder would also be expected to support an established satellite clinic at one of our local hospitals. Applications from job seekers who require Tier 2 sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. However, non‑EEA candidates may not be appointed to a post if a suitably qualified, experienced and skilled EU/EEA candidate is available to take up the post as the employing body is unlikely to satisfy the Resident Labour Market Test.
Main duties of the job
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and well‑motivated individual to join our cardiothoracic surgery department as part of the Registrar team. This team consists of 14 registrars, who are a combination of Higher Clinical Fellows (HCFs), Associate Specialists and Higher Surgical Trainees (HSTs). The number of HSTs in the department at any time ranges from two to five.
All colleagues working on this rota will be allocated to a named consultant surgeon and will undertake their core activities with that named consultant. Consultant and registrar pairings will be rotated on a 6‑monthly basis. HCFs are afforded the same training opportunities as HSTs. The successful candidate can expect to attend operating theatres and outpatient clinics on a regular basis, with the opportunity to gain experience across the spectrum of cardiothoracic surgery including mechanical circulatory support and cardiopulmonary transplantation.
