2. Brief description of the Division
The NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde was established on 1 April 2006. It is the largest acute Division in Scotland. It consists of multiple sites, including Gartnavel General Hospital, Glasgow Dental Hospital, & School, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Stobhill Hospital, Western Infirmary, Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Royal Alexandra Hospital and Inverclyde Hospital.
The Division provides a comprehensive range of services from community based care (midwives, dental services and various outreach services) through the full range of general hospital services through to regional and national specialist services. In addition, the Division has close links with the Universities in Glasgow and makes a significant contribution to teaching.
Patients come not only from the Greater Glasgow and Clyde areas but also for the whole of the west of Scotland (for regional services) and from the whole of Scotland (for national services).
Both Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Royal Hospital for Sick Children treat acute plastic surgical cases. The regional burns unit for adults is situated in Glasgow Royal Infirmary and for children at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
3. The work of the Directorate/Department/Specialty
The entire service moved from Canniesburn Hospital to a purpose built unit on the Glasgow Royal Infirmary site in April 2003 and now incorporates the Burns and Trauma Unit, which was located elsewhere within the hospital. The total bed complement is 49 in- patient beds including 13 in the burns unit and 10 in plastic surgery HDU. In addition, there are 18-day beds.
The work of the department includes the full range of Plastic Surgery with certain specific areas of interest including Hand Surgery, Breast Surgery, Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery, Laser Surgery, Male and Female Genital Reconstruction, Microsurgery and Burns.
Some patients are referred from general practitioners, but a considerable proportion of the work is referred from most other specialties within the hospital services both locally and from other health boards.
There is a full range of X-ray and other diagnostic and laboratory facilities provided by departments in Glasgow Royal Infirmary, i.e. Anaesthetics, Haematology, Pathology, Microbiology and Specialist Radiology.
Within the Hand Clinics, there are specialist Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Services and, in addition, the National Centre of Prosthetics provides a service.

Duties of the Post
This job constitutes a 10 PA post, based on a 9.:1 session template. A split of 9:1 between direct clinical care PAs and supporting professional activities is now the advertised standard for all new consultant job plans within NHSGG&C. The one SPA minimum will reflect activity such as appraisal, personal audit and professional development occurring outside study leave time. Once the candidate has been appointed more SPA time may be agreed for activities such as undergraduate and postgraduate medical training, which takes place outside direct clinical care, as well as research and/or management. These activities must be specifically and clearly identified and be agreed with the candidate and desired by the department
5. Teaching
Canniesburn Plastic Surgery Unit has a long history of providing National and International Training Courses.
There are 4-5 postgraduate courses in Microsurgery per year, which last for 1 week and involvement is typically 1-2 days.
There is a cadaveric Flap Reconstruction Course run in conjunction with the Anatomy Department of the University of Glasgow, which lasts for 1 week twice yearly, and involvement is typically 1-2 days per consultant.
There is also a bi-annual Pre fellowship Course for senior Plastic Surgery Trainees prior to the Fellowship Examination in Plastic Surgery and again involvement is typically 1-2 days per consultant.
The department currently provides Special Study Modules for Medical Students from Glasgow University Medical School and teaching sessions and lectures are undertaken on an ad hoc basis. In addition, the Unit’s international reputation attracts visitors from throughout the world.
Given the limited SPA time available it is likely the new post holder will initially have a relatively small role in this respect, but there is room to develop this over time in post.
Research
The Plastic Surgery Department has links to the Glasgow University Anatomy Department, the Bioengineering Unit in Strathclyde University and Microsurgical labs at Glasgow University Veterinary School. Research Fellows are employed as funding allows. There would be the possibility of supervising a Research Fellow for a further degree, where funding allows.
Clinical
There will be a commitment to general plastic surgery and trauma. Participation in the unit on-call rota will be required (frequency currently 1/18 nights and weekends, and 1/18 working weeks – subject to change).
