Job description

Job responsibilities

PLEASE REFER TO THE ATTACHED JOB DESCRIPTION FOR FULL DUTIES OF THE ROLE.

The post is centred on Sunderland
Royal Hospital. The department overs both elective and ‘on call’ commitments to
hospitals south of the Tyne, including Shotley Bridge, South Tyneside and University
Hospital of North Durham.

OMFS SHO jobs are quite unique due to the fact that many SHOs come
from medical or dental backgrounds (sometimes both). A large part of the workload can be
dentoalveolar (tooth-related) and infection management, especially in
district hospitals

There is formal induction and training for all new staff covering
both OMFS and ENT work prior to commencing the post. This will be compulsory.

Time is available for attendance on courses and for study or to
take examinations identified in your PDP.
There are excellent library facilities at the Sunderland Royal Hospital
with access to the Medical and Dental Library in Newcastle University.

Attendance of the local F1 / F2 postgraduate teaching programme is
encouraged.

You will undertake and present an Audit Project.

In view of the competitive nature of a career in Oral and
Maxillofacial surgery training, publications of papers and presentations and
national and international meetings is strongly encouraged.

North Durham & South Tyneside host outpatient clinics and
minor operating, but the referral of acute trauma is centralised to Sunderland
Hospital. The Resident (Trust) Doctor is not normally involved in off-site
activity in any of these hospitals, however, may be contacted about these
patients.
