## Job Content

### Job overview

The post has arisen following a major review of vascular services which has led to the designation of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a major Vascular Intervention Centre for Lancashire and South Cumbria. The new Vascular Centre serves the populations of neighbouring hospitals in Wigan, Blackpool and Morecambe Bay, a population of approximately 1.5 million.

Out-patient, day-case and diagnostic work continues in these local trusts, with Vascular Consultants bringing all elective inpatient cases to the centre, as well as participating in an emergency vascular on-call rota, all emergencies coming to the centre. This model conforms to the “hub and spoke” network recommended by the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

The new appointee will have duties in the hub. The network has a total of twelve Vascular Consultants, and the successful candidate will be part of the team, that includes 9 Middle Grades as well, working across the four trusts, participating in a “Surgeon of the Week” and a separate night / weekend rota.

### Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will work primarily on the ward, supporting elective and non-elective activities. The surgeon of the week (SOTW), whose routine duties are cancelled for the week, is responsible for daily ward rounds, assisting assessment of emergency admissions and assisting emergency interventions.

The post holder will:- Specifically adopt, in conjunction with colleagues, an active role in planning, development and delivery of the vascular service at a time when the organisation of vascular services is undergoing great change. Participate in the weekly network MDT meetings with colleagues from all disciplines involved in the care of vascular patients. Provide activity support in the non-intervention centre hospital trusts. The final detail will be negotiated and agreed with the successful applicant.

This post will be part of the 1 in 16 on-call general surgery rota at FY2-CT1/JCF grade level covering Preston and Chorley Hospitals.
