Looking for a new and exciting challenge? Then think about working in NHS Forth Valley in the heart of Scotland.
The successful applicant will join a team of 7, currently 6, other NHS consultants. The workload is representative of a District General Hospital and covers a wide range of specialties, with all the major anatomical sites represented. General Cytopathology forms part of the workload and is shared amongst the Consultants. Willingness to participate in the hospital and Fiscal Autopsy Service will be advantageous but not an absolute requirement. Specialist reporting has not been fully implemented, but each Consultant has his or her own area(s) of special interest and we would attempt to accommodate the successful applicant’s area of expertise or interest. This will lead to the successful applicant providing pathology input to the cancer MDTs related to their interests.

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.
