APPENDIX
OUTLINE OF PROPOSED PROGRAMME
SPECIALIST REGISTRAR IN BREAST SURGERY
Gartnavel General Hospital
Canniesburn Plastic Surgical Unit
INTRODUCTION
Glasgow has a National and International reputation for the management of all
aspects of Breast disease and in recent years has developed a fully integrated model
for the provision of and training in Oncoplastic Breast techniques.
This model of Oncoplastic Breast Surgery relies on the close working relationship
between the Plastic Surgeons and Breast Surgeons in Glasgow. This has resulted in
excellent training opportunities for our local trainees who spend at least 6 months
dedicated Breast Plastic Surgical Training in the Canniesburn Unit.
The establishment of an interface group of the two SACs to process this approach has
highlighted the combination of general and plastic training in breast surgery.
G/R&S/SpR/Appdetails/Howtoapp/5/20/2023
We are, therefore, able to offer the full range of specialist training in breast surgery as
outlined by the curriculum devised by the SAC in general surgery in a new combined
unit of surgeons who have nationally recognised expertise. This could provide
appropriate experience in the management of breast disease for both general and
plastic surgery trainees.
The unit has an international reputation for its clinical and basic research and this is
reflected by the prominent role that many of the units play in the organisation of breast
cancer and other cancer services in Scotland and the rest of the UK

key part of modern breast cancer management. This is long established in our
practice, we are fortunate to collaborate with a number of outstanding clinicians, many
of whom are recognised nationally.

G/R&S/SpR/Appdetails/Howtoapp/5/20/2023
Oncoplastic / Immediate / Delayed Reconstructive Theatre Sessions
Clinical Workload
Gartnavel General Hospital
Approximately 4000 symptomatic new breast patients per year are assessed in two on-
stop diagnostic clinics and in excess of 400 breast cancers are treated which includes
150 screen-detected cancers. A further 50 patients with breast cancer are treated non-
surgically with primary medical therapy. Sixty-five per cent of patients have
conservation surgery and 30 pr cent of those undergoing mastectomy have immediate
reconstruction in conjunction with the plastic surgery team. In excess of 150
localisation procedures are performed for impalpable lesions. We have been at the
forefront in the UK of developing new surgical techniques.
Canniesburn Plastic Surgical Unit
There are more than 500 new referrals per year for reconstructive surgery and
approximately 200 immediate and 200 delayed reconstructions are performed annually.
This allows ample opportunity for training in all aspects of ‘oncoplastic surgery.’.
Training Opportunities
The workload, range of activity, level of specialisation and supervision allows for
provision of specialist training. Appropriate supervision is always available from the
consultants involved in the management of breast disease. Training is available in
palpable and unpalpable breast disease and also breast reconstruction
Research
G/R&S/SpR/Appdetails/Howtoapp/5/20/2023
Research is fundamental to clinical training and remains the requirement for the
Intercollegiate FRCS examination. Out unit has developed an international reputation
in both clinical and basic research. All trainees are encouraged to take an active part
in this, and in recent years have all presented work at national and international
meetings.
Clinical Research
Clinical trials are a central part of the development of our specialty and the unit is
strongly committed to them. Members of the team are on the supervisory committees
for several other national and international trials. Patients from our practice are actively
recruited into the trials and a trainee is expected to be part of this process.
Numerous other clinical projects are carried out in the unit for which we have a high
rate of success in converting these for presentation at clinical meetings and for
publication.
Basic Research
We have a strong framework of basic breast cancer work within the academic
department and our research is recognised internationally. There are strong
collaborative links with the Department of Pathology and the Beatson Institute. It is not
unusual for clinical trainees to do laboratory work during the clinical training, as they
are encouraged to take an interest in it and to make an intellectual contribution.
Proposed Timetable
G/R&S/SpR/Appdetails/Howtoapp/5/20/2023
This appointment should have particular emphasis on the techniques and assessment
for Oncoplastic Surgery which will be gained by working within the model of care
between the Gartnavel General Hospital and the Canniesburn Unit. This would
provisionally involve spending time between the Gartnavel General Hospital and
Canniesburn Plastic Surgery Unit, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, but during that time there
can be flexibility depending on the educational and training requirements of the trainee.

NHS EDUCATION FOR SCOTLAND
WEST OF SCOTLAND REGION
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.
Applicants for posts in the NHS are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. We are required to ask all applicants to declare any previous or pending prosecutions or convictions, including those considered “spent” under this Act. (SEE OVER)
We also need to establish if you have been the subject of any fitness to practise proceedings in the past, or if 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 the selection panel will consider the nature of the conviction/action, how long ago it took place and any other factors which may be relevant.
Failure to disclose a criminal offence, having been bound over 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 being taken by SCPMDE and referral to the General Medical Council [General Dental Council] for consideration if such a discrepancy came to light.
