• F1 Trauma & Orthopaedics 2023

  Job Description 

  Foundation Year 1 Doctor Trauma & Orthopaedics x 2 post 

  One FY1 post is available in Trauma & Orthopaedics for 4 month blocks within their Foundation program rotation.  They are suitable for doctors who would like specific T&O experience, or those who would like a broad range of experience at foundation level including surgical exposure and perioperative care. The post holder will be part of a team of doctors including one Advanced Care Practioner two Physician’s Associates, two FY1 doctors, three FY2 doctors and five trust doctors at core surgical level.  There are also two Specialty Trainees, seven Associate Specialists and nine Consultants.   

   

  The post holder will work with all the orthopaedic surgeons over the four month period.  We provide a general orthopaedics trauma service and have an elective practice that covers all the major subspecialties, including hip and knee primary and revision arthroplasty, spinal surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery, hand and wrist surgery, soft tissue knee surgery and foot & ankle surgery. 

   

  They will be expected to work in a team with a Physician’s Associate and supported by FY2 and CT doctors at all points each day. They will primarily be working on the trauma team rather than on the elective orthopaedic team, however they will have experience of both. The normal work day is from 8am – 5pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. There is a weekly on-call shift every Thursday supported by either a physician associate or SHO. Monday mornings will alternate between fracture clinic and theatre time with a dedicated consultant or SAS doctor, with Monday afternoons dedicated to supporting professional activities. FY1 doctors can also expect to work every 1 in 4 Saturday mornings. They will be expected to assess & manage patients with acute traumatic injuries, perioperative illnesses and orthopaedic emergencies, with support from seniors.  

   

  The post holder will be expected to: 

  • Participate in ward rounds, outpatient clinics & operating sessions as timetabled. 

  • Assess and manage perioperative inpatients, including emergency management of sick patients. 

  • Supervise & support medical students, Advanced Care Practitioners and Physicians Associates and work in a team with FY2 and CT doctors as well as senior colleagues. 

  • Discuss management & discharge plans with patients and relatives. 

  • Liaise with the multi-disciplinary teams associated with the specialty and within subspecialties. 

  • Attend weekly specialty educational & multidisciplinary sessions. 

  • Maintain continued professional development, including study for postgraduate qualifications. 

  • Undertake clinical audit and research. 

  • Teach undergraduate medical students & foundation doctors and present at least one teaching session to the T&O department. 

  • Attend Trust & specialty induction sessions. 

  • Comply with local policies, including annual leave, study leave, dress code etc. 

   

  Annual leave is flexible but subject to the service needs of the department. We recognize that foundation posts are short, so the leave policy within T&O can be granted with little notice so long as shifts are covered internally. 

   

  Teaching and training 

  Training opportunities offered include clinical experience in each subspecialty (hips, knees, foot & ankle, shoulder & elbow, hands and spines). All FY1 doctors have one whole educational day educational per week whereby they will be rostered to outpatient clinics, fracture clinics or trauma & elective operating lists, often as surgical first assistant. They will be bleep free and have no ward duties on these days. There is a T&O educational checklist that foundation doctors are expected to have completed by the end of the post including lectures they should have attended, operations they must have seen or assisted with, and procedures they must be able to competently perform such as examination and aspiration of joints and application of plaster casts. 

   

  There is a weekly junior doctor teaching session they are expected to attend every Friday morning with a rota of lecturers from the senior T&O team to cover each week. There is a daily Consultant-led trauma meeting and trauma ward round when all trauma inpatients are reviewed with active teaching. There is also a weekly departmental trauma meeting whereby interesting cases are discussed in a teaching format.  

   

  Foundation doctors are also expected to attend the internal FY1 teaching sessions. All juniors will be expected to participate in at least one audit project and encouraged to take part in clinical research. They will also be expected to teach undergraduates & foundation doctors and take part in journal clubs when set by the Consultant on call.  

   

  All doctors will be allocated an educational supervisor for their foundation year and also to a clinical supervisor within T&O for the 4 month post who will complete regular appraisal.  They will be expected to register with Horus, and to undertake workplace based assessments.  They will also be encouraged to keep a surgical logbook if they have any interest in pursuing a career in any surgical specialty. They will have a formal Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) assessment in the final F1 post. 

   

  Medical education and Medical library facilities are available within the hospital. Foundation doctors have a dedicated administrator who is based in the medical education centre on Level 1.

You will be involved in antenatal, perinatal and postnatal care of pregnant women, as well as managing a wide variety of gynaecological conditions including early pregnancy, gynae oncology, urogynae and much more. You will work alongside other F2 doctors, GP trainees, trust grades, O&G trainees, registrars, associate specialists and consultants, each with their own specialisms and expertise.

During your night shifts you will hold both the Obs bleep and the gynae bleep and these are a fantastic learning opportunity. O&G is lucky to have an SHO room, complete with computer, phone, and bed, for use by the on call SHO and as a place to rest on nights. Please keep this room clean and tidy and ready for use by the next person.     There are weekly junior doctor teaching sessions, delivered by the O&G registrars, that cover a wide range of topics and can be catered towards areas of interest or if there’s anything you would like further teaching on. These teaching sessions are usually available both in-person and on Microsoft Teams. There are frequent MDT Simulation sessions that you are encouraged to get involved in.

You will be expected to meet with your supervisors early on in your placement to identify your learning needs via your PDP and your clinical supervisor is a great port of call for any placement specific needs, questions or concerns.  Although you are encouraged to be fairly independent, your senior team and midwives are all here to support you and will offer a range of help and guidance throughout your placement. There are a huge number of opportunities for Mini-Cex’s, CBDs and DOPS and we would encourage you to be proactive in obtaining these.    Annual and study leave is flexible and can often be approved with short notice, subject to the service needs of the department. Please make every effort to put in leave requests 6 weeks in advance. Rota swaps are allowed, if arranging a swap please inform the rota coordinators as soon as possible. F2 regional teaching is delivered via Maxcourse. You should book into these early to avoid disappointment and request study leave as appropriate. Two hours SDT is timetabled on average each week.

During this time you will observe clinics to understand more about how sexual and reproductive health is delivered in the community. Please consider this learning opportunity and decide on one or two aims you have for this time. Although this part of your placement is mainly observation if you would like to undertake history taking and case discussions please let the team know. We hope that this placement will give you an understanding around how work in the community is interwoven with that of the hospital.
