Job description

We are delighted to introduce you to the Plastic Surgery department at the Royal Marsden which is at the forefront of reconstructive surgery for cancers patients both nationally and internationally. Specialising in microvascular surgery, yet covering all aspects of reconstruction, the department has evolved from a long-standing single consultant practice to a multi-consultant independent surgical unit that provides expertise and services to patients from a range of tumour groups across the Trust. The largest proportion of reconstructive work at the Trust is undertaken on patients who have received treatment for breast cancer and there is a bi-weekly joint Oncoplastic multidisciplinary meeting to discuss these patients.Main duties of the jobThis is a full-time substantive Consultant Plastic Surgeon post. The aim is to provide long term stability and succession planning for the department and to provide the right candidate with the opportunity to develop both their own career and the care given to patients. The post holder will have a key role in enabling the Trust to maintain performance within national waiting time targets for delayed reconstruction and to meet patient choice around immediate reconstruction at the time of surgery for cancer. The post is predominantly based at the Sutton site providing both breast reconstruction (Autologous immediate and delayed DIEP breast reconstruction and Risk Reduction reconstruction) and skin cancer management and including Melanoma and Sentinel Node biopsy at Sutton. There will be access to an operating list in Chelsea once per month for breast reconstruction and there will be also be commitment to provide Gynae reconstruction once per month in Chelsea.About usThe Royal Marsden is a world leader in cancer research, treatment and education.
