One of these surgeons also performs renal transplant surgery and several provide surgery for vascular access. The Vascular service is provided by Mr Dev Mittapalli (full time Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon and Service Lead for Vascular Surgery), Miss Catherine Western (Vascular and Endovascular surgeon and Educational Lead for Vascular Surgery), Mr Jamie Barwell (full time Vascular Surgeon), Lt Col Rob Faulconer (Military Vascular and Trauma surgeon) and Mr Aled Jones (Vascular and Trauma surgeon & Governance lead) and Mr Cris Parry (fulltime NHS Vascular and Trauma surgeon consultant – now retired). ### Main duties of the job There is a separate on call rota for vascular surgery and which has no commitment to general surgery. The six vascular surgeons currently do fixed days of 24hr on call (which usually coincides with their operating list) during the working week (Monday-Thursday 0800-0800) with a second surgeon available covering the day time on-call and a weekend on call all on a 1:6 rota. There is a surgeon free of elective commitments covering oncalls during day time theare session. We are expected to provide prospective cover for any periods of annual or study leave and the successful applicant will need to be flexible in providing this cover as are the current Vascular Surgeons. All the on call is shared out equally in terms of numbers of days worked over the year but inevitably in a small team there are periods of intense activity and other quieter periods. All emergencies are admitted to a dedicated surgical admissions unit at Derriford Hospital. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities ### Applicant requirements You must have appropriate UK professional registration.
