The Royal Surrey is a GIRFT-recognised Regional Hub for TAR and hindfoot reconstruction. The successful candidate will work closely with Mr Halliwell, including dual operating, to refine the candidate’s expertise, eventually sharing the TAR workload.

The successful candidate will actively participate in this service.
