What is an orthopaedic registrar?

Orthopaedic Registrars are doctors who are undergoing specialist training in orthopaedic surgery, which deals with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system, such as bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. They work under the supervision of consultant orthopaedic surgeons, assisting in surgeries, managing patient care, and gaining hands-on experience. Their role involves diagnosing injuries and disorders, planning treatments, and performing surgical and non-surgical procedures. Orthopaedic Registrars are crucial in bridging the gap between junior doctors and consultants, and their training typically lasts several years. This position is an essential step toward becoming a fully qualified orthopaedic surgeon.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an orthopaedic registrar?

To thrive as an Orthopaedic Registrar, you need a medical degree, completion of basic surgical training, and advanced knowledge in orthopaedics, often demonstrated by passing relevant specialty exams. Familiarity with surgical instruments, imaging systems (like X-rays and MRI), and hospital electronic record systems is crucial. Excellent communication, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure are standout soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure optimal patient care, surgical safety, and effective collaboration in high-stakes clinical environments.

What are common challenges faced by orthopaedic registrars during their rotations, and how can they be managed?

Orthopaedic registrars often face challenges such as managing a demanding workload, balancing theatre time with outpatient clinics, and quickly developing surgical skills under supervision. Learning to prioritize tasks, seeking regular feedback from consultants, and collaborating closely with nursing and allied health staff can help registrars manage these challenges effectively. Time management and clear communication are essential for ensuring continuity of care and making the most of learning opportunities during each rotation.

The Advanced Clinical Practitioner role is designed to complement and enhance traditional medical roles, working collaboratively within the MDT which includes:


  • Delivering an advanced level of practice within a field of elective orthopaedic surgery practice both independently and in partnership with the multidisciplinary team under the clinical supervision delegated by a consultant and/or Specialist Registrar.
  • Using collaborative and independent judgement to assess, investigate, diagnose, plan, implement, manage, and evaluate the clinical care and management of elective orthopaedic patients
  • Taking initiative and responsibility for providing clinical leadership, supervision, and structured teaching for the MDT to facilitate ongoing training and education.
  • Taking a lead on audit and research within the unit contributing to developing and evaluating policies and protocols incorporating current best evidence.

The successful applicant will be involved in establishing and delivering a high-quality service using state of the art models of care, for patients undergoing elective joint replacement surgery by facilitating an ambulatory lower limb arthroplasty pathway. In addition to clinical supervision of the trainees, you will work with key stakeholders to develop clinical pathways, audit and governance structures, that will establish a culture of innovation, productivity and constant improvement amongst the wider multidisciplinary team. Ultimately, this will result in the provision of clinical care for day case and inpatient arthroplasty patients; discharge planning and liaising with Anaesthetic and Surgical Consultants, escalating where appropriate.


If this role appeals and you have the required knowledge, experience, skills, motivation and resourcefulness we welcome your application.


Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient.

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.


Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.


The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.


The Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) will perform at an advanced level under the core capabilities across the four pillars of Advanced Practice (Health Education England Multi-Professional Framework 2017):


  • Clinical Practice
  • Leadership and Management
  • Research
  • Education

To deliver an advanced level of practice within a specialist field, acting as a role model.


The ACP will practice both independently and in partnership with the multidisciplinary team under the clinical supervision delegated by a consultant and/or Specialist Registrar and/or under the guidance of the Lead ACP.


The post holder will use collaborative and independent judgement to assess, investigate, diagnose, plan, implement, manage, and evaluate the clinical care and management of the patients.


Responsible for providing clinical leadership, supervision, and structured teaching for trainee ACPs and the wider multidisciplinary team to facilitate ongoing training and education.


The post holder will work within a team of Advanced Clinical Practitioners providing consistent clinical cover to the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre. They will be involved in establishing and delivering a high-quality service using state of the art models of care for patients undergoing elective joint replacement surgery, facilitating an ambulatory arthroplasty pathway.
