NHS Shetland is the most northerly Health Service in Scotland and is a unique setting in which to develop your career. We are, of course, a small organisation, with circa 700 staff looking after the health needs of 23,000 people spread across 15 islands. However, what we lack in size, we more than make up for by way of highly integrated, person centred and multi-professional ethos that characterises every aspect of our operations.
We are looking to appoint consultant anaesthetists to work for NHS Shetland at the Gilbert Bain Hospital, Lerwick. The Anaesthetic Department provides comprehensive general anaesthetic and critical care services. In addition, because of the remote nature of Shetland there is the necessity for anaesthetists to provide an enhanced trauma resuscitation service, to provide expertise in the resuscitation and stabilisation of neonates and paediatric patients, and to reap the reward of being able to adapt core anaesthetic skills to suit unpredictable and potentially challenging clinical scenarios arising outside the traditional theatre-based environment.
We are offering full-time posts but will discuss alternative working arrangements including annualised hours’ alternative contracts including annualised hours.
Pro rata annual leave will apply with 2 full weeks study leave.
For more information and informal enquires contact Dr Kirsty Brightwell, Medical Director or Dr Catriona Barr, consultant anaesthetist via email mary.marsland@nhs.scot
Closing Date: 01/06/25
Interview Date: 17/06/25
