Clinical Fellow - ENT H&N Surgery

This post is based predominantly in the outpatient setting, supporting ENT H&N clinics in the Royal National Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic and The MacMillan Cancer Centre. There are regular clinics at which the Registrar will have the opportunity to see new patients as well as patients recently discharged from the ward. There will be opportunities to observe and assist and operate in theatre as directed by the consultant. H&N admissions may arise from clinics and the Registrar will be expected to liaise closely with the full range of multi-disciplinary teams involved in their care. Attendance and support for the weekly multi-disciplinary team meeting will be a requirement of the role. The Clinical Fellow will also be expected to take part in and present audit and research projects. The Clinical Fellow will also be expected to take part in teaching other staff, and undergraduate and postgraduate students. The Clinical Fellow will have a primary role in the outpatient care of new and recently diagnosed H&N cancer patients and also those patients referred for suspected cancer in whom an alternative diagnosis is established. The Clinical Fellow will write clear notes, order appropriate investigations and work closely with MDT coordinators and the wider MDT in the assessment and diagnosis of 'fast track' suspected H&N cancer referrals. The Clinical fellow will provide comprehensive physical assessments, including flexible nasendoscopy in the outpatient setting.
