Looking for a new and exciting challenge? Then think about working in NHS Forth Valley in the heart of Scotland.
Applications are invited from trainee doctors having recently completed or about to finish either UK Foundation Programmes or Core Surgical Training to apply for the position of Clinical Development Fellow (CDF) in breast surgery.
This exciting post will work clinically in the breast surgery department at Forth Valley Royal Hospital. In addition, as a part-time CDF, you will have 2 hours per week of protected development time and 2 hours of in-house training.

The appointment will be on a fixed term and part-time basis (16 hrs) and remuneration will be determined by the pay and conditions of hospital medical and dental staff (NHS Circular: PCS (DD) 2023/01).

You will be supported to develop skills in the assessment of benign and malignant breast disease and clinical techniques including core biopsy.
You can look forward to a warm welcome and strong support from colleagues. Our hospital is situated in the heart of Scotland, nestled against the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, and close to vibrant towns that are richly endowed with excellent cultural and sporting facilities, offering good transport links to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
