Directorate of Neurosciences, Oral/Maxillofacial and Orthodontics

Educational Supervisor: Mr A Webb

IntroductionThe Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics is part of the Neurosciences Directorate. There are three Maxillofacial Consultants and two Orthodontic Consultants. Administrative support for the Directorate includes an Accountant, a Clinical Information Officer, a Quality Assurance Officer and Day Surgery Co-ordinator. Each Unit within the Directorate employs its own Secretarial, Clerical and Administrative Staff. There is an excellent working relationship between the Medical, Nursing and Managerial Staff.

Staffing of the Unit 3 Consultants Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgery2 Consultants Orthodontics)1 Full Time Associate Specialist1 Part-Time Staff Grade2 Specialist Registrars5 Senior House Officers (1 Floating to cover A/L & S/L Southampton & Salisbury)

There are designated Staff for the care of Paediatric problems and for Restorative Dentistry. Special expertise based in the Community Dental Service is utilised to provide additional help for groups with 'special needs'. The Oral and Maxillofacial Unit is currently situated within a purpose built Department at the heart of the General Hospital, close to the Accident and Emergency Unit and the Neurological Centre, areas into which we have a major input in terms of patient management.

In common with other Maxillofacial Units we provide a broad ranged service for General Dental and General Medical Practitioners and other Hospital Consultants. Although the vast majority of our work is either out-patient or day case based dento alveolar surgery this Unit has a major commitment to satisfy both the need and demand for Orthognathic and Cranio Facial Surgery (except primary cleft lip and palate repair), ablative and reconstructive surgery in the head and neck region, complex cranio-maxillo-facial trauma management, salivary gland surgery and skin malignancy.

5

Three Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons cover a large area of Hampshire which stretches from the South Coast to Salisbury in the West and Andover in the North. A significant number of patients are referred from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Wight for major maxillofacial surgery.

The five SHO/DF2s will travel between hospital sites in Southampton, Lymington and Winchester during normal working hours, but not when on-call. These periods will be either predominantly Out-Patient or In-Patient based. Each Senior House Officer will be taught how to perform dento alveolar surgery and SHO should anticipate hands on experience in trauma management particularly soft tissue surgery and fixation of mandibular and zygomatic fractures. They will also assist in complex Maxillofacial Surgery.

The majority of the SHO/DF2 s time will be spent in out-patients performing routine surgery and reviewing patients on clinics.

The SHO will, in conjunction with the Higher Surgical Trainees who are medically qualified, provide routine care of in-patients. In-house tuition in resuscitation, intravenous access, radiographic interpretation, prescribing and the use of pathological services will be provided during an induction course. It will be a contractual requirement to perform both medical and clinical audit and the SHOs are expected to collect and collate a large amount of clinical data.

There will be protected time provided during the working week for the completion of audit projects under the guidance of the Higher Surgical Trainees as determined by the Consultants involved. Continuing medical education and professional development are considered to be important in our Department and there is an active programme of teaching and research. It should be anticipated that during the course of a normal contract the Senior House Officer will have the opportunity to be involved in the publication of at least one scientific paper.

RequirementsThe successful candidate must have full registration or temporary registration with reduced supervision with the GDC and hold a full driving licence.

All new staff will be expected to provide written documentation of immunity to Hepatitis B and to attend the Occupational Health Department as required.

Emergencies

The Senior House Officer (Foundation Trainee) accepts that he/she will also perform duties in occasional emergencies and unforseen circumstances at the request of the appropriate Consultant, in consultation where practicable with his/her colleagues both senior and junior. It has been agreed between the professions and the Department that while juniors accept that they will perform such duties, the Secretary of State stresses that additional commitments arising under this sub-section are exceptional and in particular, that juniors SHO/DF2 would not be required to undertake work for this kind for prolonged periods or on a regular basis.
