Why work for us?
Patients are at the centre of everything we do in our daily working lives at NHS Borders ensuring they are safe, cared for efficiently, effectively by suitably experienced and qualified staff driving quality at the heart of patient care. We are a dynamic and forward thinking team with a wealth of clinical and leadership experience. We aim for an open and honest culture and believe in nurturing future stars in NHS
Our service caters for a stable population in a tranquil and beautiful rural area only 36 miles from Scotland’s vibrant capital, Edinburgh. We have excellent leisure facilities and a quality of life second to none. A relocation package / assistance with temporary accommodation (including on-site accommodation if desired) or excess travel costs is available for the successful candidates.
The Role
This post is aimed at post foundation / post CMT level i.e. doctors having completed a UK Foundation medical training programme (or equivalent) and having sufficient experience in the management of acutely unwell adult patients to function at an intermediate level responsible to a consultant physician. Candidates may be looking for some experience of acute or general medicine or medicine for the elderly in which they may have a longer term interest (e.g. future entry into specialty medical training), or to provide a professional development supplement to other career options longer term.
This post is not a doctor in a training grade and is not recognised for training purposes however we feel would offer an excellent grounding for future application for training.
You will work under supervision of the Stroke Consultant to develop skills in Stroke and Medicine for the Elderly.
The development component of this post is flexible according to your specific needs, level of experience and career interest. You may develop a paper-based portfolio mapped to an appropriate curriculum (CMT or higher training depending on your level of experience). Opportunities will exist for experience in Medical Education (specifically in Simulation), Management and Leadership, Clinical Skills and Quality Improvement. This would equate to approximately 1 day per week.
