{"interviewQueryText":"What are some good interview questions in British English for the job description below?\n\n-------------------------------------------\n\nTrust Doctor in Trauma and Orthopaedics with Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust in Torquay, England, United Kingdom\n\nWe are looking to recruit a Trust Dr SHO to join our innovative Trauma & Orthopaedics team. The post is 1in 8 on call covering Trauma & Orthopaedics Surgery. This is an excellent opportunity to gain useful clinical experience in this specialty. For informal enquiry please contact Mr Nathanael Ahearn , Consultant & Clinical Service Lead on 01803 654969 The applicant will be expected to take part in the standard SHO on-call rota (1 in 8). Ward care will be expected for trauma patients and we are hoping to restart our elective activity soon. There will be opportunities to work in theatre, fracture and elective clinics. It is anticipated that this post will allow the applicant to proceed to successful selection for national CT training. The trauma and orthopaedic directorate sits within the Planned Care Integrated Service Organisation at Torbay Hospital. A comprehensive outpatient service is provided to all South Devon patients, both for trauma and elective orthopaedics. Fracture clinics are held at Torbay Hospital each weekday morning. Elective outpatient clinics currently take place at Torbay and Newton Abbot Hospitals. There is a Hydrotherapy pool and Rheumatology service at Torbay Hospital. Two high dependency beds are supported on the elective orthopaedic ward. The Directorate has two inpatient wards – Ainslie (26 trauma beds) and Ella Rowcroft (19 elective beds), although during the Covid crisis we had a significantly reduced inpatient capacity. We additionally undertake a high proportion of day case orthopaedic surgery, including selected joint replacement procedures, and have established a national reputation for excellence in this field. There are five HEPA filtered Laminar flow theatres for trauma and orthopaedic surgery. Admissions Officers co-ordinate all elective cases and input all operating lists (fracture and elective) onto the Hospital’s Theatre system. Trauma Co-ordinators assist surgeons with the compilation of fracture lists and co-ordination of their operative stay, and also manage a “fast track” system for patients with fractured neck of femur. In addition these patients are supported by Consultant Orthogeriatricians, with a Physician’s Assistant.
