Job description
Job summary
Applications are invited from Trauma and Orthopaedic or Plastic Surgery Senior Trainees, for a Senior Hand Fellow post within the Nottingham Hand Unit at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, which is covered by the Medical and Dental Staff Terms and Conditions of Service. The current timetable and learning opportunities are equivocal to when this post was previously a nationally appointed Advanced Training Post in Hand Surgery. We seek to appoint a candidate specifically interested in advanced training in Hand surgery.

This post is to start asap from September 2026 and will end 3rd August 2027. This post will be based at both the Queen's Medical Centre and the Nottingham Treatment Centre within Nottingham University Hospitals.

The successful applicant will join the Hand Consultant team within the Orthopaedic directorate, which consists of seven Hand Surgery Consultants. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with all of the consultants, covering routine and complex hand and wrist trauma, elective surgery alongside specialist brachial plexus/ peripheral nerve surgery. Specific areas of interest will be accommodated where feasible.

Main duties of the job
Day to day work will involve hand fracture clinics, elective clinics, hand and wrist trauma lists and elective surgery. There is a separate out-of-hours service for hands provided by both orthopaedic and plastic surgery consultants. Successful applicants will join the supervising orthopaedic hand consultant for their on-call commitments, including weekdays and weekends. The hand fellow will be on call only for hands, will be non-resident out of hours, and will act as an intermediary between the on call registrar and hand consultant, essentially performing a sub consultant grade on call.

Research is encouraged. The Fellow will have the opportunity to collaborate in projects being undertaken at the Evidence Based Centre for Hand Surgery, located here in Nottingham. Involvement in supervised research projects is encouraged and preparation for the FESSH and BSSH hand surgery diplomas is also supported.

About us
Nottingham University Hospital is a busy Major Trauma Centre. The Hand Surgery Service is shared between Trauma and Orthopaedics and Plastic Surgery, working collaboratively at the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham Treatment Centre. The fellowship is run by Trauma and Orthopaedics but the opportunity to have interface training with our Plastics hand surgeons are present and encouraged. We welcome applicants from either Trauma and Orthopaedics or Plastics background.

With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.

Come and join our wonderful team at NUH. We are big believers in diversity and welcome new ideas to help develop our team in order to deliver world class healthcare to the vast patient populations we serve. With endless personal development opportunities available, at NUH we will endeavour to turn your job into a career!

We particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, or Disabled, as we are striving to be better represented at NUH.
