Pattern of working including any on-call commitment

There is a ‘hub’ day to day timetable that is managed at Luton and Dunstable hospital.

Additionally there is a local spoke day to day timetable that is organised locally at that unit and is composed of scheduled clinics and minor oral surgery sessions under LA and sedation. Additionally there are scheduled GA Daycase and Inpatient GA lists (Hub only) to which you’ll be allocated. There will be direct supervision and the aim is to help you feel comfortable to undertake routine procedures independently during your placement- exodontia, biopsies, excisions etc.

There is an aim of 3 clinics and 3 operating sessions (LA/GA) per week, which are senior led.

DCTs will split their 12 week rotating pattern with 6 weeks spent in the spoke hospital and 6 weeks at the hub- Luton and Dunstable hospital.

In that 12 week period there will be hub oncall cover

1 set of weekend days

1 set of weekend nights

1 set of weekday nights

4 individual long days oncall (8am-8pm).

This equates to a 1:12 full shift rota, with 8am starts at the hub and 8:30am at spokes.

These oncalls are busy and valuable experience in learning acute presentations associated with oral and maxillofacial surgery. They are well supported with second and third oncall cover available to you. Additionally during the day time there is always support locally in hub or spoke with onsite cover by senior levels. During those periods of oncall you will develop skills in managing lacerations and abscess as well and learning how to assess maxillofacial injuries.

There will be a local spoke oncall cover during the day (8.30am-5pm) which is split between the spoke rotated DCTs, managed locally but again with a direct line of supervision available to support you.

Educational programme

4 individual long days oncall (8am-8pm).

This equates to a 1:12 full shift rota, with 8am starts at the hub and 8:30am at spokes.

These oncalls are busy and valuable experience in learning acute presentations associated with oral and maxillofacial surgery. They are well supported with second and third oncall cover available to you. Additionally during the day time there is always support locally in hub or spoke with onsite cover by senior levels. During those periods of oncall you will develop skills in managing lacerations and abscess as well and learning how to assess maxillofacial injuries.

There will be a local spoke oncall cover during the day (8.30am-5pm) which is split between the spoke rotated DCTs, managed locally but again with a direct line of supervision available to support you.
