NHS Ayrshire and Arran provides an area wide general diagnostic pathology service. We are looking for a Consultant Pathologist who has a special interest in Autopsy Pathology.
This post, which is based in the Area Laboratories within University Hospital Crosshouse will have responsibility for the provision of specialist autopsy pathology services. The post holder will undertake hospital and procurator fiscal autopsies and will have a role in teaching and training in Autopsy Pathology. Additional opportunities in other specialist areas may also be available.
We are looking for dynamic and enthusiastic individuals to join our friendly team of consultant histopathologists.
