Applicants are welcome for the above post to join a multi-disciplinary team of Consultants providing an infection service covering the whole of Lothian.
Our goal is to make best use of available expertise in the management of infection for optimal patient care in our region.

This includes provision of specialist infection advice for paediatrics, alongside rotational infection service input into adult tertiary referral centres on-site including neurosurgery and other specialities, delivery of infection liaison service and antimicrobial stewardship.
We have excellent working relationships with clinical teams and have ongoing collaboration with researchers in Edinburgh and beyond. Specialist Virology services, along with five Scottish reference laboratories, dealing with Mycobacteria, STEC, Bacterial Sexually-Transmitted Infections, Human Papilloma Virus and Viral Haemorrhagic Fever, are also based in the department of Laboratory Medicine at the RIE. The laboratories have full UKAS ISO 15189:2022 accreditation.
