Job overview

The postholder will be joining the existing 8 Consultants providing ENT services to the County of Shropshire and a substantial part of the adjacent Welsh County of Powys with a combined catchment population of approximately 560,000 and rising.

The cancer team deals with 120-150 new cases per year and rising and is part of the Greater Midlands Cancer Network. At present two ENT and two OMFS consultants provide the main Head and Neck Oncology Surgery service with a full and integrated multi-disciplinary team. Radiotherapy services are on site. The teams are a group of dynamic, forward-thinking individuals with a passion for patient centred care, teaching, team working and collaboration. The new Consultant would be welcomed into these teams to contribute and enhance the team further.

There has never been a more exciting time to join the Head & Neck team, as the Trust continues to plan and deliver significant improvements to patient pathways. The Trust has been awarded £312 million to further enhance the hospitals, resulting in the creation of one emergency hospital site (The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital) and one planned care hospital site (The Princess Royal Hospital). The ENT team will see their admitting site be transferred to Royal Shrewsbury where there will be state of the art ITU, theatres and diagnostics available. The Trust has also recently secured funding to procure a robot to enhance surgical cases further, including for head and neck cancer patients.

Duties will include: 

• To work alongside 2 other head and neck oncology consultant surgeons in ENT (and 2 in OMFS) and deliver a comprehensive head and neck service to the local population.
• To contribute to the weekly specialist MDT meeting (including thyroid) and head and neck oncology clinic, in conjunction with the wider MDT team.
• To provide routine and 2ww outpatient clinics at both sites.
• Participate in a general on call ENT service (1 in 9) – cover to both hospitals.
• Engage in teaching and training of junior staff.
• To develop enhanced clinical skills, especially in the assessment and management of acutely ill patients.
• To have excellent team-working skills with the abilities and professional attitude to work well in a multi-professional team.
• To deliver clinical and quality targets agreed both nationally and locally with clinical teams and commissioners.
• To follow patients throughout their clinical pathways.
