NHS Medical & Dental: Senior Clinical Fellow
Here at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust,
Our mission is:
Providing high-quality, compassionate care for our communities
Our vision to 2030 is:

Job overview
Applications are invited for a 2-year Senior Clinical Fellow post in Vascular Surgery at ENHT (Lister Hospital, Stevenage), the arterial centre for the Hertfordshire and West Essex Vascular Network.
This is an exciting opportunity to work in the newly expanded vascular unit, where the arterial work of 3 hospitals will be undertaken on one site, the Lister Hospital. There will be 2 vascular theatres functioning Monday to Friday every day, plus additional out of hours operating. One of these theatres will be the new £11 million Hybrid theatre with the Philips Azurion system, enabling modern endovascular and open procedures to be performed in a theatre equipped with laminar flow and modern air exchange systems.
Main duties of the job
The senior clinical fellow will be expected to help in theatre, outpatients, on-call activity and ward management. Of the major vascular case workload, the hospital will undertake approximately 100 AAA, 80 carotid endarterectomies, 150 lower leg bypasses, 60 major lower limb amputations and 250 arteriovenous fistula procedures per year. Post holders will be encouraged to participate in multidisciplinary team meetings, audits, presentations and teachings. Ideally the candidate will already have their MRCS and be aiming to increase their vascular operative exposure in preparation for higher surgical training. Candidates are expected to have some general surgery exposure already.
Working for our organisation
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
- The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
- New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
- Hertford County, Hertford
- Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
