In the event a successful candidate is offered sessions in IR procedures these will take place at Glan Clwyd VCOW week is job planned on a prospective cover basis, consultants who wish to be absent from VCOW duties will be expected to swap this duty with colleagues. All other activities are job planned on a non-prospective cover basis.

In conjunction with our existing Vascular Surgeons, Interventional Radiologists and a hard-working, highly motivated team of medical and nursing staff, the successful appointee will provide a high quality, modern service in a rapidly developing unit. The posts will be based at Glan Clwyd Hospital and will service our spoke sites at Wrexham Maelor Hospital or Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor.

The successful candidates will be expected to reside within 30 minutes travel time of Glan Clwyd Hospital when on call, however on site overnight accommodation for on call purposes is available for those who choose to reside further away. This allows for the possibility of consultants living in any area of the Health Board or in areas of North West England within a reasonable commute.
