Locum Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic (Upper Limb))

The department has developed a highly professional and commercially focused approach to delivering the highest standards of patient\-centred care.

The current junior medical staffing for Trauma \& Orthopaedics across both sites includes several Specialist Trainee (North West Thames), Specialty Doctor, Core Trainee, Junior Clinical Fellow and FY1 posts.

There is a Trauma Co\-ordinator and Trauma Nurse Practitioner on each site. Each consultant reports professionally and managerially to the Divisional Management team, via their Clinical Service Lead and General Manager. You will be expected to agree annual objectives with your Clinical Service Lead and General Manager with fit with the needs of the service, division and trust.

Please refer to the chart in the job description for an indicative job plan outlining the allocation of programmed activities. Please note that this is a provisional plan and will be agreed with the post holder in due course.

The job plan may be subject to future amendment to reflect the needs of the service, following consultation with the post holder.

Please note that the post may include on\-calls and will entail cross\-site working between the Chelsea, West Middlesex and NWL Elective Orthopaedic Centre sites.

Our ambition is simple—to provide world\-class care. We combine globally recognised clinical expertise with locally delivered care to represent the NHS at its best. This begins with our 7,500 staff at our two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital—and our award\-winning clinics across North West London and beyond.

They will potentially participate in a 1:8 trauma on\-call rota, including weekend cover, and will contribute to audit, research, management, and ongoing service development.
