Job summary

This is a specialist Endometriosis Surgical Fellowship at registrar level, offered for a minimum fixed term of 12 months. The post is designed for doctors who wish to develop substantial expertise in the assessment, multidisciplinary management and advanced surgical treatment of endometriosis. The focus of the role is endometriosis: it is not a general gynaecology fellowship and the post-holder will not be expected to routinely provide general gynaecology service activity. The fellowship will provide intensive experience in specialist endometriosis clinics, complex elective operating, multidisciplinary team working, pathway development, patient communication and service improvement. We explicitly welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate a very high level of interest in and commitment to endometriosis, including candidates whose training or qualifications have been obtained outside the traditional UK training pathway.

Main duties of the job

The post-holder will work as an integral member of the specialist endometriosis team and will report to the Service Lead for Endometriosis. The focus of all programmed clinical activity will be endometriosis. The post-holder will undertake specialist endometriosis clinics and elective endometriosis operating lists. There is no requirement to routinely undertake general gynaecology activity but the postholder will contribute to the Obstetric and Gynaecology on-call rota (restricted to Gyanecology on-call during the normal working day).

This fellowship requires close teamwork across the specialist multidisciplinary service. The successful candidate will be highly motivated, dependable and committed to endometriosis as a specialty. They will be expected to work collaboratively with medical, nursing, radiology, colorectal, urology, pain, fertility, administrative and other colleagues; to communicate openly and respectfully; to support the development of others; and to take shared responsibility for delivering and continually improving a high-quality endometriosis service.

This post exists to provide and develop a high-quality specialist endometriosis service. Its clinical, surgical, multidisciplinary and service-development focus is endometriosis rather than general gynaecology.

Job summary

The appointee will be within the General Surgery Clinical Directorate (CDU), and join the team specialising in Emergency General Surgery. The CDU works in specialist teams (Emergency, Colorectal, Upper GI, Breast and Vascular) with a good deal of flexibility and excellent working relationships between teams.

You will be part of a team of 4 consultant surgeons who deliver the emergency surgical service during the day, Mon to Fri. All GI surgeons contribute to the out of hours and weekend cover on a frequency of 1 in 12. During the weekday mornings, there are 2 emergency surgeons leading the on call/take/emergency wards/emergency theatres and ambulatory clinic.

Duties include the care of elective patients at both Wycombe Hospital and Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Wycombe Hospital hosts the Wycombe Elective Surgical Centre (WESC) is a regional elective surgical hub catering for the majority of elective surgery including paediatric and complex major surgery. There is some elective day-case surgery undertaken at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Elective sessions include clinics, day case and inpatient elective surgery.

5.6 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic independently prescribing pharmacist to join our expanding medicines management team at Wide Way Medical Centre. We currently employ 1 independently prescribing pharmacist supported by a pharmacy technician, but recognise we need to expand our team to meet the needs of our 16,000 population.

We serve a diverse population in a relatively deprived area of Merton with a high burden of cardiovascular disease in particular so an interest in cardiovascular-disease care is desired but not essential.

We can offer a dynamic and innovative working environment,with plenty of development opportunities.

The role is practice based and there is flexibility for hybrid working with a mix of on-site and remote work - this is currently largely dictated by physical room space constraints but is negotiable. For direct patient contact activity we like it to be face-to-face because we believe this builds better trust and rapport but non-direct activities can be performed remotely to an extent, but it is important that you meet colleagues and feel fully embedded as part of the whole practice team.

We are a CQC rated "OUTSTANDING" practice.

Main duties of the job

Medicines Management Responsible for implementing and communicating medicines-related policies, procedures, and protocols in line with SWL optimisation priorities. This includes repeat prescribing, ensuring appropriate and monitored medications, reconciling changes from external providers, and conducting structured medication reviews (SMRs).

Liaison with community pharmacists, ICS and PCN teams is essential to deliver national/local priorities. Staff are updated on medicines performance, with quality improvement activities supported.

Long Term Conditions Management (CVD) As part of the Planned Care team, responsibilities include managing long-term conditionsfocusing on CVD, AF, Heart Failure, Diabetes, Hypertension, and CKDvia structured reviews and optimisation clinics. The role supports multidisciplinary collaboration to improve outcomes for high-risk patient cohorts.

About us

Our team consists of 4 GP Partners plus a Managing Partner, 5 Salaried GPs, 2 Advanced Care Practitioners, Practice Nurses, a Paramedic, Social Prescriber, Health and Wellbeing Coach, Care Coordinators and a fantastic administrative support team.

We are a training practice with 4 GP trainers and we host GP registrars, medical students and nursing students.

We greatly value the expertise our pharmacist and pharmacy technician colleagues bring and support the personal and professional development of all our staff, particularly with respect to cardiovascular disease care which is a focus for us due to our local burden.

the successful candidate will take part in the weekly cardiovascular optimisation meetings, planned care meetings and medicines management meetings to support the medicines management team
