Plastic Surgery Fellow: Pediatric & Adult Care & Procedures

Principal Responsibilities

The Plastic Surgery Unit deals with a wide range of paediatric and adult plastic surgery, both elective and emergency. There are at least 4 daily elective operating lists every weekday with a daily list for emergencies seven days a week, in addition to regular local anaesthetic minor operating lists.

This post involves day to day care of patients on the wards as well as outpatient clinics and operating sessions, depending on the ward and on call commitments.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.
