Job Advert
FIXED TERM FOR 12 MONTHS
NHS Highland is looking for a Consultant to join our enthusiastic, dynamic and forward thinking team and work with the existing consultants in continuing to provide a high quality General Internal Medicine (GIM)/Diabetes and Endocrine service for the Scottish Highlands.
The successful candidate will be expected to work within the diabetes multidisciplinary team, providing a wide range of diabetes and endocrine services (which may include outreach clinics in Fort William, Thurso and the Isle of Skye) and participate in the medical on call rota on a 1:16 basis.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate extensive experience in GIM and Diabetes and Endocrinology and should hold, or be eligible for CCT in GIM and Diabetes and Endocrinology, or equivalent, within 6 months of interview.
Many staff work and live in the Highlands because of the unrivalled access to outdoor activities. Skiing, rock climbing, Munro “bagging”, summer/winter mountaineering, or trekking in the numerous magnificent glens all come as standard perks of the post. Amazing beaches are both close by and further afield and it is easy to find a beach to yourself even in the peak of summer. Join the many staff comparing their cycle routes on Strava, or improve your game on the fantastic local golf courses. Water sports and fishing possibilities are endless, from river kayaking to open seas and countless lochs. Loch Ness itself lies only 10 miles away.
All this is balanced by an extensive and diverse cultural life that you would expect from a larger city. We have a lively Highland Medical Society social scene for Community and Secondary care colleagues to meet and socialise. Inverness is a compact city with many lovely nearby villages in which to live, good schools and a University campus next to the hospital. There is a warm, welcoming environment here in the Highlands – we would be delighted for you to come and join us.
Informal enquiries are welcome to Dr David Macfarlane; david.macfarlane4@nhs.scot
