Applications Invited for Oculoplastic Fellow Post
Applications are invited for a twelve-month fixed-term Oculoplastic fellow post that will enhance the service of our large department that covers a population of approximately 1.2 million. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with three Oculoplastic consultants across both main Trust sites. The post has been in place for over 15 years and offers an excellent and varied timetable. It is not a Deanery recognised training post.
About the Role
The successful candidate will join an active Oculoplastic service which covers all subspecialty conditions including lid malpositions, lacrimal disorders, periocular tumours and orbital disease, with dedicated thyroid eye disease clinics. All oculoplastic surgical areas are covered, including joint lacrimal clinic and theatre lists with ENT, apart from orbital surgery which is referred to tertiary referral centres. We are also developing a facial skin cancer pathway with ENT and a joint operating list with general Plastics. The team comprises 3 Oculoplastic consultants, an Oculoplastic fellow (this post) and an Oculoplastic nurse specialist.
