Welcome from Grant Archibald, Chief Executive, NHS Tayside

Thank you for your interest in this post. As you’ll see we have put together some information on this site both about NHS Tayside and where we are located in Scotland. I hope that you find this useful and that you translate your interest in this post into a formal application.

NHS Tayside has a strong track record in delivering high-quality, safe and effective care for all our patients. However, like other NHS Boards across Scotland, NHS Tayside is facing significant challenges including growing demand for all services, workforce challenges that are impacting upon how we deliver services and continuing pressures on our finances.

In response to these challenges, NHS Tayside has embarked up on a programme of transformation to ensure that services are safe, affordable and, importantly, sustainable for the future. Transforming Tayside aims to deliver Better Health, Better Care, Better Workplace and Better Value for the population of Tayside.

The programme is clinically-led and is being delivered in partnership with our staff and trades unions and our local health and social care partnerships. It is structured to respond to issues and make changes to services in the short to medium-term, as well as presenting an ambitious vision of transformation for Tayside in the longer term. It will provide clear and credible choices for transforming the future of local healthcare.

A new, innovative leadership model for clinical directorates is now in place to drive the changes necessary in health and social care across the whole system. Clinicians are taking the lead to design and provide evidence-based models of care which are safe, accessible, effective and person-centred in the Transforming Tayside programme.

Innovation and research are at the forefront of what NHS Tayside stands for and we are proud to have established the first academic health science network in Scotland, jointly supported by the Scottish Government and the University of . The Academic Health Science Partnership in Tayside brings together the delivery of healthcare services, education, quality improvement and research with the purpose of improving the health of patients. NHS Tayside, alongside the Academic Health Science Partnership, has welcomed funding announced in the Tay Cities Deal to grow the Tayside Biomedical Cluster. The project aims to make the region one of the most attractive and sought after biomedical locations in the UK. A £25million investment to grow the Tayside Biomedical Cluster was one of the projects announced to receive investment in the Tay Cities Deal Heads of Terms Agreement. The funding will stimulate a step change in innovation-led growth and create new jobs for the region.

The final thing I would like to say to any potential applicant is that Tayside occupies an enviable location on the east coast of Scotland with rivers, hills, mountains and rolling countryside right on our doorstep, as well as vibrant urban areas. The V&A Museum of Design in Dundee is an international centre of design and the centrepiece of Dundee’s innovative new waterfront development. This, along with Tayside’s great links to all other major cities in Scotland, means the area can offer employees plenty of choice when it comes to both accommodation and opportunities of things to do in the pursuit of the right work-life balance.

We would be delighted to hear from you should you have any questions or require any further information regarding the post.

Grant R Archibald, Chief Executive of NHS Tayside

APPOINTMENT AND REVIEW PROCEDURES

Declaration Statements and Statements of Policy

Statement of Policy regarding fitness to practise proceedings by a licensing/regulatory body and relating to criminal investigations in the UK or overseas.

Registration with the General Medical Council or General Dental Council imposes on doctors and dentists the duty to provide a good standard of medical care for, and to behave appropriately, towards patients. NHS Employers also have a duty to ensure that patients receive a good standard of medical care and ensure as far as possible the safety of patients. We therefore need to establish if you have been found guilty of a criminal offence, been bound over or cautioned or are currently the subject of proceedings which might lead to a conviction, an order binding you over or a caution, in the UK or any other country.

This post is exempt from the 1974 Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exclusions & Exceptions) (Scotland) Order 2003. This means that you must tell us if you have been convicted of a criminal offence either classed as ‘spent’ or ‘unspent’, been bound over or cautioned or are currently the subject of any police investigations, which might lead to a conviction, an order binding you over or a caution in the UK or any other country. Information will be verified by Disclosure Scotland.

We also need to establish if you have been the subject of any fitness to practise proceedings in the past, or any fitness to practise proceedings are being contemplated, by a licensing or regulatory body in the UK or another country and this is also reflected in the declaration. This information will be treated in confidence and will not debar you from appointment unless the selection panel considers that it renders you unsuitable for appointment. In reaching such a decision we will consider the nature of the conviction/action, how long ago it took place and any others factors that may be relevant.

Failure to disclose a criminal offence, or cautioned, or that you are currently the subject of criminal proceedings which might lead to a conviction, an order binding you over or a caution, or fitness to practise proceedings undertaken or being undertaken by an appropriate licensing or regulatory body, may disqualify you from appointment, or result in summary dismissal/disciplinary action and referral to the General Medical Council [General Dental Council] for consideration if such a discrepancy came to light.

If you would like to discuss what effect any previous convictions, police investigations or fitness to practise proceedings taken or being taken either in the UK or by an overseas licensing or regulatory body might have on your application, you may telephone the Recruitment Services Team (Medical Staffing) on Tel: 01382 632000 for advice. All calls will be treated in confidence.

NHS Tayside Trauma & Orthopaedic Service NHS Tayside

NHS Tayside provides a comprehensive range of general and specialist acute services for its population including comprehensive trauma and orthopaedic service. Dundee is a centre for innovative medical and technological development and world renowned for the close collaboration between basic science and clinical medical disciplines. In November 2018 Ninewells Hospital acquired full functionality as one of the earlier Major Trauma Centres in Scotland with 6 bedded fully functional Major Trauma Ward supported by full complement of multidisciplinary teams Monday-Friday.

NHS Tayside is a major health service provider and focus for medical, dental, nursing and midwifery education. The medical school became the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Dundee when the university received its Charter in 1967. The recent annual intake of medical students is 150 and the total number of students at the University is 11,000.

Dundee, with a population of around 170,000 is the fourth principal city in Scotland and is situated on the north bank of the River Tay. It is Scotland's only south-facing city, giving it a claim to being Scotland's sunniest and warmest city. It is conveniently near the three other large cities – Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, none more than an hour and a half away by road or rail. London is just six hours away by rail link and around an hour by air from the local airport where direct flights are also available to Belfast. Tayside provides an excellent standard of living with high quality, reasonably priced housing, good schools and childcare facilities, both public and private. The river and its estuary, the coasts of Angus and Fife and the nearby hills and mountains of Angus and Perthshire offer scope for every conceivable outdoor activity. Golfers are particularly well served with St Andrews and only a 30 minute drive away. Hill walkers, skiers, sailors and fishermen fare equally well as do those looking more to the arts. There are flourishing professional repertory theatres in both Dundee and Perth, and concert halls which host regular concerts of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra as well as visiting opera and popular musical performances. The Victoria and Albert Museum (London) have chosen Dundee to establish a new museum, the first of its kind outside London. This prestigious institute is due for completion in 2018 and will form, along with RRS Discovery, a focal point to the waterfront redevelopment programme.

Ninewells Hospital is the main teaching hospital associated with the University of Dundee and the major acute service provider in the area.

The hospital was opened in 1974 and with 810 acute beds is one of the largest units of its kind in the British Isles, and was specifically designed with the medical school and hospital integrated in a way that provides for growth and change in future years.

The Clinical Skills Centre and Cushieri Skills Centre are also based within Ninewells Hospital.

In addition, the following are also based within the Ninewells Hospital campus; Tayside Medipark, Drug Development (Scotland) Limited, Karl Storz (surgical instrument maker) and Tayside Academic Health Sciences Centre (TAHSC) which was formally established on 1st January 2010 and combines the research strengths of the University of Dundee with NHS Tayside and is a node of the national Scottish Academic Health Sciences Collaboration. It brings together, within a single

26

organisational framework, the Clinical Research Centre, the Tayside Clinical Trials Unit and the joint functions of the NHS Research & Development office and the University's Research & Innovation Services (in relation to clinical research). This strategic alignment brings greater efficiency to research management and governance across the University and NHS.

Perth Royal Infirmary

Perth Royal Infirmary is 23 miles west of Dundee and provides the District General Hospital Service for the Perthshire and Kinross area of western Tayside. It is a 200 + bed hospital with supporting Specialist Services and it is envisaged the current job will add to service improvement programmes to establish centre of excellence of elective orthopaedic surgery at Perth with high volume arthroplasty service provision along with out-patient clinics.

Stracathro Hospital Stracathro Hospital is situated approximately half way between Dundee and Aberdeen, just three miles from the Angus county town of Brechin. Current scheduling includes two to 3-day weekday stay for carefully selected major joint replacements through a robust preadmission service, short stay and day case surgery in orthopaedics. It also provides ambulatory diagnostic and treatment services to Tayside, Grampian and Fife. Department of Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery

Trauma surgery is concentrated on the Ninewells site where complex trauma, multiple injuries, hand trauma and paediatric trauma is carried out. Elective Orthopaedic surgery is carried out at Perth Royal Infirmary, Stracathro Hospital and at Ninewells. The catchment area covers the populations of Dundee, Angus, Perthshire and Northeast Fife. Potential changes to trauma service will be decided based on the outcome of consultation of shaping orthopaedic surgical services. It is envisaged higher than current amount of elective work will be provided at Perth Royal Infirmary to which successful applicant of this post will contribute.

There are close links between clinical practice and the University of Dundee. The University Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery and the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research are undergoing changes as the university department seeks new head of the department. The Department has an international reputation in the areas of medical education and functional studies of foot/ ankle and gait and hosts a Master of Orthopaedic Surgery Course with postgraduate students integrated for clinical attachments in the unit at all three hospital sites.

Future rota changes will allow for all surgeons to meet twice weekly on Ninewells and PRI sites to support patient management and to plan and to ensure continuity of care with a robust 'buddying' system that’s being developed.

The department is developing a new profile of leadership with NHS Tayside philosophy of clinically led and managerially enabled organisation. Our enthusiastic clinical leads are working on the opportunities that will develop all three sites to their best efficiency in service delivery, quality of patient care and training for all staff including undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.

The arthroplasty service is adequately supported by AHPs audit teams and nurse practitioners 27

across Tayside. Arthroplasty service has monthly arthroplasty team meetings for peer support and review to make service robust with quality improvements and service developments. Any further career interests of applicants will be assessed carefully and supported if it fits within the vision of NHS Tayside transformation program.
