2 Posts- One with a focus of Upper Limb and the second with a focus on Lower limb. These posts sit within the Orthopaedic Team at Associate Specialist grade and will include Consultant and Middle Grade level responsibilities. This post should appeal to senior Middle grade surgeons in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery looking to progress their careers to a higher level of performance, autonomy and independence whilst still working within an enthusiastic Consultant led unit.
