Senior Clinical Fellow In Complex Colorectal Cancer Surgery

We are looking for a committed and dedicated individual to join our team for 12 months. This fellowship offers an opportunity for surgeons who are close to CCT or are post‑CCT to gain valuable experience in the management of patients with locally advanced primary and recurrent colon and rectal cancer, advanced and recurrent anal cancer, and gynaecological cancers. We are an experienced team with a geographically large referral network, and receive over 30 referrals per year from other centres (Leicestershire and Rutland, South Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Derbyshire) as well as managing patients with advanced cancers from our region.

The successful fellow will train under the supervision and guidance of Miss Kirsten Boyle, Mr Chris Mann and Mr Daniel Couch. We offer beyond TME resections, pelvic exenteration, salvage surgery for anal cancer, distal sacrectomy, planned joint surgery with urology and orthopaedics. We have plastic surgical reconstructive surgeons and spinal surgeons on site.

The fellow will be expected to facilitate the smooth running of the tertiary service, including the triaging of referrals and preparation for MDT discussion. Liaison with allied specialties and CNSs is essential to ensure effective clinic consultations based on the principle of shared decision‑making and holistic care. The colorectal unit comprises 14 consultant colorectal surgeons (12 participate in on‑call rota) based principally at LRI.
