The East of Scotland Breast Team is seeking a forward-thinking individual to be an integral member of the multidisciplinary breast service team. We provide a specialist breast service on two sites - Ninewells Hospital, Dundee and Perth Royal Infirmary, Perth.
The Breast Service is responsible for the management of patients with symptomatic disease and those with asymptomatic disease detected by the East of Scotland Breast Screening service based at Ninewells Hospital. The indicative job plan is full-time (10 sessions) for 6 months fixed, with the option to extend by a further 6 months. The job plan can be negotiated with the successful candidate, but might include 6 direct clinical contact sessions and 4 SPA/admin sessions. Part-time arrangements will also be considered for candidates who wish to maintain General Practice and specialise in breast disease.
The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, oncologists, histopathologists, radiologists, advanced radiographers, specialist breast care nurses and mammographers, as part of the breast team in the breast unit. They will gain specialist knowledge and skills in breast disease management and undertake independent practice within the service in screening and symptomatic service clinics.
