The position of Breast Fellow was created in 2007 to promote the development of the RWH/RMH Breast Service. The position is jointly funded by RMH and RWH.
The Fellow is involved with General Surgery at both sites as well as many aspects of the Breast service. An important consideration is that this position must improve rather than detract from the value of the Breast/Oncology/Endocrine (BOE) Unit Registrar position
Clinical duties
Operating at RWH
The Fellow is involved in most/all of the Breast Service lists at the Royal Women's Hospital. There are 6-8 lists every 4 week cycle. There will be times when the Fellow is operating unsupervised, although support will always be available. Assistance will be provided by a junior registrar. In 2010 we have commenced a Plastic surgical operating list every second week. The Fellow will be involved in this list when other commitments allow.
Organisation of the Breast surgery lists at the Royal Women's Hospital is the responsibility of the Fellow in liaison with the surgeon, and in association with the Breast Care Nurse. The Fellow will be responsible for immediate post-op review and post-op care of inpatients. The Gynae-oncology Unit resident is available for routine ward work as needed.
Operating at RMH.
The Fellow usually attends the Breast Service Director's operating lists, but does not routinely attend the other lists of the Breast Unit surgeons at RMH as these are for the training of the BOE Unit registrar. The Fellow may be available to do lists at RMH when the consultant is away or not able to use the list.
On Call
The Fellow will take part in the Call roster at both RMH and RWH.
General Surgery coverage at RWH is provided by some RMH General Surgeons on a weekly basis. In hours, any calls go to the Fellow, who will manage the case if possible, and refers to the On Call surgeon as needed. Out of hours calls go to the General Surgeon On Call.
The Fellow is rostered on the RMH General Surgeon Call roster with a consultant surgeon specifically rostered on to provide back-up. The Fellow should make him/herself available to do suitable emergency cases for surgeons of any of the units as the timetable allows. This must be done in cooperation with Fellows of other units, such that, within reason, a Fellow is available to do emergency cases at all times.

Northern Psychiatric Unit
The Acute Inpatient Unit is a 50 bed Unit located at The Northern Hospital, 185 Cooper Street, Epping. The Unit provides a service for the residents of the cities of Darebin and Whittlesea, and provides short-term intensive treatment for people who require inpatient assessment and management.
The Northern Psychiatric Unit (NPU) is currently undergoing a major redevelopment. At the end of this redevelopment we will have doubled in bed capacity, have a dedicated purpose built ECT suite and a new and improved model of care for the NPU.
The expanded inpatient service and revised model of care makes this an exciting time to join the team at NPU. There will be many opportunities for professional development and to gain experiences in specialist areas of mental health nursing.
If you are interested in working with a supportive organisation that values its staff, team work and the provision of quality care then please contact Gary Ennis for further information or an informal discussion on 8405 2574; 0438 054 029.
