Job Title: Specialty Doctor in Transplant Surgery

Department: Transplant Unit

Base: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

NHS Scotland is committed to promoting equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. Our goal is to have a truly representative workforce, where each employee feels respected and valued.

We welcome applications from all sections of society.

Entry Criteria for a Specialty Doctor:
  • shall have full registration and a Licence to Practice with the General Medical Council (GMC);
  • shall have completed at least four years full-time postgraduate training (or its equivalent gained on a less than full-time or flexible basis) at least two of which will be in a specialty training programme or specialty registrar locum appointment for training (LAT);
  • or shall have equivalent training, experience or competencies, either in the UK or overseas.

This is a permanent full-time post based in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

This post is suitable for an ST8 or equivalent specialty registrar or immediate post-CCT fellow who wishes to gain experience in transplant surgery and multi-organ transplantation.

The post-holder will gain experience in liver, pancreas and renal transplantation, live donor kidney donation as well as deceased donor organ donation (including novel organ perfusion technologies).

The post-holder will also gain experience in open and laparoscopic management of complex HPB conditions, benign and malignant.

Candidates should have had significant previous training in Transplant and/or HPB surgery.

The post will comprise both emergency duties on the transplant fellow rota, covering multi-organ retrieval and transplantation as well as elective sessions at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

This post is suitable for a candidate who has completed general surgical training and is keen to gain in-depth training in transplant and/or HPB surgery, leading to independent clinical practice.

The transplant unit has supported two CESR applications over the last 12 months and both candidates have since been appointed to substantive consultant transplant surgeon positions.

Significant support for CESR application will be provided with this post if required.

The post holder will be based primarily at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, but will be required to undertake multi-organ retrievals at hospitals throughout Scotland and the UK.
