Locum Consultant/Specialist in ENT
Consultant/Specialist
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
Job overview
An exceptional opportunity to join our progressive ENT department and shape the future of regional ENT services.
About This Role
We are seeking an ambitious and enthusiastic Locum Consultant ENT Surgeon to join our well-established, dynamic team at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This is a unique opportunity to develop and lead a comprehensive benign head and neck and diagnostic ENT service while being part of a forward-thinking department that delivers high-quality surgery to sub-specialty levels.
What Makes This Role Special?
Partnership Excellence: Work in close collaboration with the University Hospital of Southampton to provide a comprehensive sub-specialty ENT service and regional tertiary care. This partnership ensures our patients receive world-class treatment while offering you access to complex cases and cutting-edge techniques.
Leadership Opportunity
While your primary focus will be developing and leading our benign head and neck and diagnostic ENT service, you'll be supported by Southampton's specialist head and neck team, giving you the best of both worlds – clinical leadership with expert backup.
Educational Impact: Engage actively in our renowned training programmes, including:
• Comprehensive ENT workshops for other specialties
• The prestigious Wessex Sinus Surgery Course
• MAST Paediatric Airway Course
Main duties of the job
1. Develop and maintain good working practices within wards, outpatients and A&E
2. Collaborate and promote close working links with colleagues in tertiary centres, community services and primary care
3. Offer support and leadership to junior medical colleagues, nursing colleagues and other members of the multi-disciplinary team
4. Work with colleagues to provide a consultant-led service with the highest standard of care
5. Work with the multi-professional team to develop care pathways and clinical guidelines
