Applications are invited for a Locum Appointment for Service in Palliative Care Medicine at ST3 level at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.
The post is available from 3 February 2021 until 3 August 2021. The position is normally occupied by Specialty Trainees in General Practice. It is mainly based in the Alexandra Unit, which is the inpatient Specialist Palliative Care Unit for Dumfries and Galloway. However, there are opportunities to gain experience of hospital and community palliative care during the post. The unit is within the new Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, and enjoys excellent links to the hospital teams.
The Palliative Medicine department is committed to training and developing all junior doctors equally and holders of these posts will participate in departmental teaching. They will be encouraged and supported in attending relevant courses. Ours is a relatively small department with an excellent team spirit. In addition to the Consultant there is a part time Associate Specialist and part time Specialty Doctor to support the applicant.
To practice medicine in the UK you need to hold both full GMC registration and a license to practice. To be eligible for the posts you must have completed foundation training and two years post foundation or equivalent.
