Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom NHS Scotland Full time

NHS Scotland is dedicated to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce while eliminating any form of unlawful discrimination. Our goal is to ensure that our workforce is truly representative, allowing every employee to feel valued and empowered to perform at their best. Consequently, NHS Scotland encourages applications from all segments of society.

Two Consultant Positions in Palliative Medicine (WTE 10 PA including 2 SPA)

We are in search of two motivated Consultants in Palliative Medicine to become integral members of a dynamic and dedicated multi-disciplinary specialist palliative care team.

Both Consultants will be stationed at the St Margaret of Scotland Hospice, with responsibilities divided into 7 sessions. Each post holder will engage in a rotational schedule comprising 3 sessions at the Vale of Leven Hospital (Clyde Sector, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde) and the South Sector (NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde).

Currently, there are no established specialist palliative medicine services within the Vale of Leven Hospital. In response to identified needs, there is a commitment to develop and enhance the Specialist Palliative Care service in this facility.

The proposed 3 sessions at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital will integrate with the existing specialist palliative care team, which includes current consultants, specialty doctors, clinical nurse specialists, specialist pharmacists, and administrative staff.

Within the Hospice, the Consultant in Palliative Medicine collaborates with Consultants specializing in Palliative Medicine, Locum Hospice Physicians, Sessional GPs, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Advanced Practitioners from Allied Health Professions, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, and Specialist Pharmacists to deliver a comprehensive, active rehabilitative palliative care service that will support the establishment of these new rotational roles.

Both the Hospice and the acute sector offer an active program for undergraduate and postgraduate education in palliative care, with undergraduate education coordinated for medical students through the University of Glasgow. The Hospice also maintains a formal teaching partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University - School of Health & Life Sciences.

There are opportunities to further develop skills in collaboration with researchers and postgraduate educators from nearby universities. Candidates with a suitable academic background may qualify for an Honorary Academic appointment with Glasgow University.

The primary workplace will be St Margaret of Scotland Hospice, but there is potential for the new post holders to rotate through clinical and managerial roles across the NHS, Hospice, and Community settings. The post-holder will hold an NHS Consultant Contract along with an Honorary Contract with St Margaret of Scotland Hospice.

Contractual Arrangements

The contract for this position will be managed by NHSGGC, reflecting established partnership arrangements that provide the post holder with NHS terms and conditions, including membership in the NHS pension scheme.

Applicants should possess full GMC Registration, a license to practice, and be eligible for inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register. Those trained in the UK must provide evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from the date of interview. Non-UK applicants must demonstrate equivalent training.
