Based at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Hospital, this full-time, Specialty Registrar LAT (ST1 or above) / Clinical Fellow (ST1 level or above) post is available from August 2023 for a fixed term of 12 months.  On call will be based at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Applicants should have completed a Foundation Scheme or have similar experience. They should hold the MRCP from one of the Royal Colleges in the UK for the LAT or hold similar qualification and have experience in General Medicine, ideally in Neurology and Stroke although this is not essential.

Full registration with a licence to practise with the GMC is required. (licence to practise must be in place prior to starting in post).  For more information visit www.gmc-uk.org
