Current Vacancies- An exciting opportunity for a board eligible Orthopaedic Surgeon
The Animal Health Trust is a large UK-based veterinary charity dedicated to promoting animal welfare through improved understanding of diseases in cats, dogs and horses. Situated in a beautiful location just 4 miles from Newmarket the AHT has a multi-disciplinary small animal referral clinic, an equine referral clinic and a number of research groups (including virology, epidemiology, pathology, genetics, and molecular oncology).
The small animal clinic is dedicated to providing the highest standards of patient care, and has an active programme of clinical research and post-graduate training (internships and residencies). We currently have specialist teams in dermatology, diagnostic imaging, anaesthesia, neurology/neurosurgery, oncology, ophthalmology, internal medicine and soft tissue surgery.
We are currently seeking an orthopaedic surgeon to join our team of clinicians in the small animal hospital. The candidate should be an EVCS or ACVS diplomate, although board-eligible surgeons will also be considered. The successful candidate will be expected to develop their own referral caseload in small animal orthopaedics as well as working closely with our existing soft tissue surgery and neurology/neurosurgery departments. Candidates are expected to share out of hours responsibilities for the soft tissue surgery caseload, and there may be an opportunity to participate in some of the neurosurgical caseload and help with our neurology and neurosurgical residency training.
Development of a residency training programme would be strongly encouraged, and time will also be allocated for clinical research activities.
The successful candidate will be keen to work as part of a well integrated multi-disciplinary clinic, and eager to develop the area of small animal orthopaedics in a rewarding and friendly environment.
