Vascular Consultant
The post has arisen following a major review of vascular services which has led to the designation of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a major Vascular Intervention Centre for Lancashire and South Cumbria. The new Vascular Centre serves the populations of neighbouring hospitals in Wigan, Blackpool and Morecambe Bay, a population of approximately 1.5 million.
Out-patient, day-case and diagnostic work continues in these local trusts, with Vascular Consultants bringing all elective inpatient cases to the centre, as well as participating in an emergency vascular on-call rota, all emergencies coming to the centre. This model conforms to the “hub and spoke” network recommended by the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
The new appointee will have duties in the hub. The network has a total of twelve Vascular Consultants, and the successful candidate will be part of the team, that includes 9 Middle Grades as well, working across the four trusts, participating in a “Surgeon of the Week” and a separate night / weekend rota.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
