Post Details:
The SHO forms part of a team of three Consultants, two Registrars and three STrs. There is a 1 in 5 cross cover on call rota for weekday evenings and weekends, shared with Maxillofacial Surgery.
Principal duties include the day-to-day management of patients on Ward 15 (adults) and Ward 17 (children). There are nurse-led pre-admission clinics as well as Emergency admissions.
During the first two to three weeks the SHO is instructed in ENT examination, including head mirror, fibreoptic and microscope equipment and thereafter sees new and review patients under supervision.
During the six months the SHO is expected to learn the basics of many areas of ENT, such as Audiology, procedures such as nasal packing and cautery, removal of foreign bodies from the ears, nose and pharynx, as well as various other skills.
There are also up to three outpatient sessions in Dermatology each week.
The SHO takes part in active weekly tutorials in ENT and monthly X-Ray and Audit meetings.
