Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon

Job summary

This appointment offers the chance to join our team of specialist oncoplastic breast surgeons. The current post is for 7.5PAs with the potential for increase as departmental budget allows, to meet the growing needs of our service.

As a consultant, you will be working closely with our imaging doctors and specialist radiographers to deliver one-stop 2WW diagnostic clinics, as well as offering results clinics and regular operating sessions. We are a joint department with screening, sharing a building and equipment with our diagnostic colleagues, and our management structure reflects this. Much of our service is day surgery, so there will only be a limited need to see ward patients. Most breast emergencies are seen in the one stop clinic, and out of hours is covered by our general surgery colleagues, but you would still be expected to attend occasional post operative emergencies where appropriate and see ward referrals across both main hospital sites. Operating currently also takes place at our community hospital at Stroud General Hospital, and all consultants are expected to have a proportion of their lists there.

The interview's for this post will take place on 18th February 2026.
