CONSULTANT IN CELLULAR PATHOLOGY

One Post - 10 Programmed Activities

COME & WORK WITH US IN PATHOLOGY - A PERFECT LOCATION AT THE GATEWAY TO THE HIGHLANDS, BUT CLOSE TO THE CENTRAL BELT OF SCOTLAND

Applications are invited for ONE full time (10PA) consultant pathology post based in Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.

Known as "the City of Discovery" for its track record in biomedical research, the New York Times has also called Dundee "Scotland's coolest city" for its culture and spectacular riverside V&A design museum. With a wealth of amenities and relatively low cost of property, Dundee and the surrounding countryside of Tayside is a fantastic place to choose to live, work, or raise a family.

An interest or commitment that sufficiently includes gastrointestinal and / or hepatobiliary pathology is sought. A contribution to medical liver and a spectrum of small biopsy workload would also be welcomed. Involvement in autopsy pathology and / or cytopathology can be accommodated for those qualified, but is not a requirement of the post. Other interests, including a more generalised role but with sufficient support in these areas will also be considered.

Enquiries and discussion prior to application are welcomed. Further training towards assumption of a subspecialty focus would be supported for the right candidate. Flexible working is supported, and EPAs available by negotiation. Applicants wishing to work part time are eligible to apply.

We are a collegiate team of 14 NHS consultants, 2 University consultants and up to 9 specialist trainees. There is significant support for trimming simple, and some more complex, specimens from biomedical scientists. We have supportive modernising leadership with development activity that includes digital pathology, BMS role-extension, and working to develop a dedicated molecular pathology service.

Ranked 1st in the UK for medicine in the Complete University Guide 2021 and the Guardian University Guide 2021, the University of Dundee Medical School is integrated into the Ninewells Hospitals campus and has an international reputation for excellence in teaching and high impact clinical research that places it amongst the best places in the world to study and to practice medicine.
