RCS Fellowship in Hip Surgery | Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust

This one-year Fellowship has been accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons as one of their National Surgical Fellowships. It is designed to provide skills and competencies above and beyond that currently required to obtain a CCT in Orthopaedics and Trauma. It affords an excellent training opportunity in the whole spectrum of modern hip surgery. We see young adult patients with symptomatic hip impingement for arthroscopic and open surgery, and submit our data to the Non Arthroplasty Hip Register. We manage complex primary arthroplasties and revisions, and have a dedicated periprosthetic fracture service. The previous fellows have all gone on to consultant appointment.

The programme has been designed to include a supervised new patient hip clinic, and operating theatre sessions with exposure to open and arthroscopic surgery. It is supported by educational meetings and relevant research. The timetable is predominantly supervised, but there is also opportunity for regular independent operating.

Applicants must have full GMC Registration, and be post CCT or on the specialist register.

Frimley Health NHS Trust is one of the largest acute Trusts in the South East with exceptional performances. Designated as a major accident centre and a Category 2 trauma centre, Frimley also works in partnership with the MoD with an integrated military and civilian workforce.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is committed to being an inclusive and disability confident employer and has been awarded the Gold for the Armed Forces Employment Recognition Scheme. We provide first class development opportunities for all staff and have a wide range of professional, management and leadership, and clinical skills training available.

Here at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, we know how important it is to have a healthy work life balance; this benefits not only individuals but the patients we care for too.

We encourage applications from people who wish to work on a flexible basis, recognising that flexibility may mean a range of different working patterns and hours, we do our utmost to work with our staff to meet their needs and the needs of our service and its users.
