Applications are invited for an enthusiastic Specialty Doctor in Anaesthesia to join the team in providing anaesthesia for the surgical specialities of orthopaedics and general surgery.
During the COVID-19 pandemic the team have been providing urgent surgical cancer care for NHS Scotland across a variety of specialties and this is likely to continue in the immediate future.

A significant expansion in services will be implemented in a phased manner over the coming years. The general surgery program is focused primarily on day surgery procedures, although there is an intention to develop the program and widen the scope beyond day case procedures.
