Job Advert

An opportunity has arisen to join our dynamic team consisting of four Consultant Histopathologists. The successful candidate will have a chance to develop a specialist interest in an area of the histopathology service with support from the wider regional teams.
This post is based in the new Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, a district general hospital with a major reputation for delivering quality care as well as being at the forefront of innovative practice.  The range of services provided by the hospital is, by virtue of its geographical location, considerably more wide and complex than many much larger traditional district general hospitals. 
The Department provides a wide range of clinical diagnostic and advisory services supported by scientific facilities in three inter-related disciplines:
•    Histopathology (approximately 15000 specimens per year)
•    Diagnostic Cytopathology (1000 requests per year)
•    Mortuary and Autopsy services (120 autopsies per year)
In addition to routine diagnostic services expected for a district general hospital, Dumfries & Galloway is accredited as a Cancer Unit for the diagnosis and management of common cancers including Skin, Head & Neck, Breast, Colorectal & upper Gastrointestinal, Respiratory, Urological, Haematological, Gynaecological malignancies.
Applicants must hold valid registration with the General Medical Council and have completed a period of training in Pathology that is recognised by the Royal College of Pathologists. They should be on, or eligible for, inclusion on the specialist register within six months of appointment.
It is an exciting time in Dumfries and Galloway as the new District General Hospital opened in December 2017.  The hospital is based on the western outskirts of the town. The new hospital will ensure NHS Dumfries and Galloway staff are able to continue to provide high quality clinical care to the population of Dumfries and Galloway in a modern environment.   
NHS Dumfries and Galloway offer a full relocation package.
Applications for part-time or job share employment are also welcome.  There is flexibility around individual’s requirements and the requirements of family and partners.  Most of our recent appointments have requested 12 PA contracts.
For informal enquiries and arrangements to visit, please contact:  Dr Martin Connor, Clinical Director for Diagnostic Services (e-mail address – martinconnor@nhs.net ).
