Specialty Doctor in Breast Surgery

Barts Health NHS Trust are currently welcoming applications for a full time 10PA Speciality doctor to join the Breast Surgery department at the Barts Cancer Centre. This position will initially be offered on a fixed term basis for a period of 6 month.

Bart’s Breast Unit is a tertiary referral centre for the treatment of breast disease. Part of Bart’s Health NHS Trust, the unit is located at St Bartholomew's Hospital in the City of London, which is a large, state of the art cancer and cardiac centre. Outpatient clinics are undertaken in a purpose-built unit with adjacent imaging and biopsy facilities. We offer the full range of breast procedures, including oncoplastic breast conservation and mastectomy with immediate and delayed reconstruction.

The post holder will be part of a team of Specialist Registrars and Consultants in Breast Surgery, as well as the wider multi-disciplinary team. The successful candidate will assist in the provision of elective breast surgery, outpatient clinics, inpatient ward cover and the preparation of the multidisciplinary team meeting. The post holder will have the opportunity to operate independently within their own competencies for specific procedures and will be supported by the consultant body to develop further competencies within the field of breast surgery, with ample opportunity to be involved with major cases in oncoplastic breast surgery and breast reconstruction. The clinical commitments will depend on service requirements, but will span outpatient clinics (one stop and routine follow-up) and theatre.

The successful applicant will be expected to play a key role in the on-going development of the Breast Unit and will work alongside the consultants to develop and expand the service.
