Join #TeamSurgery at Milton Keynes University Hospital

The surgery division at MKUH, which covers specialties including theatres and the Intensive Care Unit, offers a variety of roles and opportunities, both clinical and non-clinical. The division are looking for passionate, enthusiastic and forward-thinking professionals to join the team.

As well as being an innovator in robotics, the Trust is proud to be part of the New Hospital Programme, with plans to expand and increase our surgical capacity to meet the health needs of our communities now and in the future.

Specialised Duties & Responsibilities

To perform and report on the full range of adult diagnostic audiological tests, including tests of an advanced and complex nature.

To perform both basic and advanced hearing aid services to include non-routine adults with complex needs.

General duties & responsibilities:

To undertake adult direct referral clinics for hearing assessment and hearing aid assessment and reassessment. This involves taking a full case history and the assessment of otological clinical conditions, including complex assessments, onward referral for an ENT opinion if indicated, and the subsequent provision of relevant intervention programmes. To convey recommendations for management/intervention to the patient and family/carers, and produce timely reports to the referring party and other relevant professionals.

To communicate procedures involved in, and results of, assessment and potential interventions to patients (adults), families and carers. This requires a degree of tact, sensitivity, and sometimes persuasion. Motivating patients to comply with treatment programmes and making choices clear to patients, e.g. with respect to features of hearing aids, is frequently challenging, not least because of the stigma that patients often perceive. These patients will have barriers to communication because of hearing loss, and sometimes multiple disabilities.
