The post sits within the F2/CT/SHO rota partaking in a 1 in 10 on call covering Trauma & Orthopaedics Surgery. This is an excellent opportunity to gain useful clinical experience in this specialty.
The applicant will be expected to take part in the standard SHO on-call rota (1 in 10) which includes nights and weekends.
It is essential that you can work effectively and collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver gold standard care to our patients and complete CPS/TTA’s in a timely manner to ensure safe discharge of patients.
Ward care will be expected for both Trauma and Elective patients across Ainslie, Ella and Outlying Wards. This job provides an educational component, with a split 70% clinical work and 30% educational work. The educational days can be used for portfolio development/exam revision/teaching opportunities/CPD. Where possible there will be opportunities to work in theatre, fracture and elective clinics, but educational days are a great use of this time. It is anticipated that this post will allow the applicant to proceed to successful selection for national CT training.
The trauma and orthopaedic directorate sits within the Planned Care Integrated Service Organisation at Torbay Hospital. A comprehensive outpatient service is provided to all South Devon patients, both for trauma and elective orthopaedics. Fracture clinics are held at Torbay Hospital each weekday morning. Elective outpatient clinics currently take place at Torbay and Newton Abbot Hospitals. There is a Hydrotherapy pool and Rheumatology service at Torbay Hospital.
Two high dependency beds are supported on the elective orthopaedic ward.
The Directorate has two inpatient wards – Ainslie (26 trauma beds) and Ella Rowcroft (19 elective beds), although during the Covid crisis we had a significantly reduced inpatient capacity. We additionally undertake a high proportion of day case orthopaedic surgery, including selected joint replacement procedures, and have established a national reputation for excellence in this field.
There are five HEPA filtered Laminar flow theatres for trauma and orthopaedic surgery.
Admissions Officers co-ordinate all elective cases and input all operating lists (fracture and elective) onto the Hospital’s Theatre system. Trauma Co-ordinators assist surgeons with the compilation of fracture lists and co-ordination of their operative stay, and also manage a “fast track” system for patients with fractured neck of femur. In addition these patients are supported by Consultant Orthogeriatricians, with a Physician’s Assistant.
