The Trust has gone through a major service reconfiguration. Included within these plans was the development, through the 'Shaping Health Services' project, of a Surgical Centre at Wycombe General Hospital. This is a dedicated surgical facility to provide planned day case and inpatient care for a pre-defined range of routine treatments.



To complement this facility, all surgical trauma and emergencies were centralised at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. This project served to provide surgical services in a manner that reduced delays for patients waiting for theatre, maximised available theatre time, and delivered elective and emergency care in a more systematic way.



The successful candidate(s) may be appointed to any of the subspecialty firms except for Vascular Surgery. The candidate may express a preference at interview, but this may not be guaranteed.
