Specialty Doctor in Oral Surgery

Job summary

Main duties of the job

The Oral Surgery/OMFS Departments employ dentally and medically qualified staff. This role is intended to be pivotal in ensuring the efficient running of the routine workload of the Oral Surgery / OMFS department. The postholder will be expected to take on appropriate administrative tasks with training and support. This may include delegation of tasks and the provision of advice and formal teaching to more junior dentally trained clinical staff. A dental degree, GDC Registration, MFDS and substantial past relevant experience are essential. Post graduate qualifications would be considered advantageous.

Familiarity with the common and significant medical comorbidities relevant to surgical treatment and their efficient management is needed. The ability to diagnose radiological abnormalities commonly encountered in referrals from dental practice is key to the correct triage of referrals, which the post holder may become involved in, depending on progress and ability.

You will not be required to participate in an on-call rota. Your background would include substantial experience in managing the simpler acute traumatic injuries forming the routine workload of an OMFS Department and experience of triaging, handling and appropriate onward referral of more complex or significant injuries and emergency presentations.
