The Role
The post-holders will have responsibility for Plastic Surgery specialising in Trauma and general Plastic Surgery. You will benefit from a collaborative environment that fosters strong working relationships between Plastic Surgery and other specialist services. The department provides excellent support and mentoring for new consultants, ensuring a smooth transition and integration into the team.
The appointee will join a dynamic and enthusiastic team of limb reconstructive surgeons who enjoy an excellent collaborative relationship with their orthopaedic colleagues. The team forms part of the John Radcliffe’s Major Trauma Centre and is known for its innovative approach and commitment to excellence. It routinely uses the BSSH hand trauma triage algorithms through an integrated online referral service thereby reducing the patient footfall to clinic and allowing timely consultant review of decisions made by junior staff. Plastics Trauma consultants lead the service for both upper and lower limb trauma.
This recruitment is intended to expand consultant capacity to utilise the additional operating provision created by regular all-day general anaesthetic lists within the new Surgical Elective Centre (SEC) at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, due to open in summer 2026.
