An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the ENT team at BHRUT as a fixed term HVLC consultant with an interest in Rhinology. This post has proved to be hugely benefical to the department supporting the efficent use of theatres and clinics, working on a flexible 10PA rota. We are looking for someone who is flexible and enjoys working as part of a team as this is key to the smooth running of the department. We warmly welcome you to our busy and dynamic team, which delivers a comprehensive and specialised ENT service to a population of over 750,000.

Our outpatient department at the Queen's hospital is designed with the latest equipment and facilities, and our outpatient team has access to cutting-edge narrow band imaging technology for early diagnosis. Our ENT theatres are equipped with the latest CO2 Laser, 4K microscope, and endoscope to manage cancer patients.
Although currently fixed term, we will be looking at a later date to make this post substantive.

With regards to the provision of the service, the post holder will share with the other Consultants, and Specialty Doctors in the assessment and treatment of ENT A&E referrals in the “Hot Clinics” and other GP referrals by providing high quality patient care from the point of admission to discharge, with a particular emphasis of helping to meet waiting list targets and current challenges. The case-mix will cover all aspects of ENT surgery and the successful applicant will have had specialist training in all aspects of ENT surgery and be able to demonstrate an adequate level of skill and experience all areas including Paediatric surgery

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across northeast London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
