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. To be considered for this role, applicants must have full GMC Registration, a license to practice, and be eligible for inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register. Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from the interview date. Portfolio Pathway (formerly known as CESR - Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) route doctors are only eligible to apply for a substantive consultant post once it has been awarded. Non-UK applicants must demonstrate equivalent training.

This permanent, full-time (40 hours per week) post is based in Western General Hospital. Histopathology services across Lothian (Edinburgh) are organized as an integrated service with Consultant Pathologists being members of one or more teams working at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and the Western General Hospital. This new post has been created to support our busy dermatopathology service. NHS Scotland Pathology and the University of Edinburgh collaborate on a portfolio of research activities, and a range of opportunities would be available to the successful applicant. The potential to take a leading role in service delivery would be available to a suitably experienced candidate. A contribution to the wider Lothian Service is also possible, depending on the interests of the appointee and the requirements of the service. Candidates wishing to work less than full time could also be accommodated.

Candidates must hold FRCPath in Histopathology (or equivalent qualification) and be on the specialist register or be within 6 months of obtaining CCST on the day of interview. For more information, please refer to the job description available via email address or link below. We cannot accept CVs as a form of application and only a completed online application form will be accepted. Personal information will not be sent with the application for shortlisting. The application form will be identified by the candidate number only to ensure that all applicants are treated equally.
