Jobs in Trauma and Orthopaedics
We provide a service for patients with long-term injuries typically relating to bones and joints, and a trauma service for patients who have been injured in accidents.
We treat patients from diagnosis and surgery to treatment and rehabilitation. In addition we offer Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, and Sports Medicine services.
Why join us in Trauma and Orthopaedics?
We are one of the largest Trauma and Orthopaedic centres in the country, and are renowned for our services, in particular our Hand Therapy and Surgery services.
We have a team of 50 consultants, highly trained nursing teams across seven inpatient wards, and an advanced and specialist allied health professional workforce delivering Orthopaedic services across Derbyshire and Staffordshire. We deliver Trauma services from our two acute hospital sites and elective care for orthopaedics, spines and hands from all of our hospitals.
Our new theatres and ward at the Treatment Centre at Queen's Hospital Burton supports patients through every stage of their treatment process, from getting surgery, all the way through to aftercare, like physiotherapy, and was recently celebrated by Secretary of State for Health Steve Barclay >.
Our Pulvertaft Hand Unit is a long-established specialist hand surgery centre within Royal Derby Hospital that treats a wide range of conditions of the hand and wrist. It was selected to treat Prince William for a rugby injury to his hand > in 1999, and the department runs postgraduate courses for doctors, nurses and therapists.
In addition, we are proud that;
- we are a regional spinal centre.
