NHS Lothian is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.
To this end, NHS Lothian welcomes applications from all sections of society.
Applications are welcome for the above 1-year fixed term, full time (40 hours per week) post based in Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. These posts are available from the first Wednesday of August (pre-employment checks dependant).
These posts are ideally suited to post-Foundation doctors interested in becoming neurosurgeons or interested in working in an allied specialty (e.g. interventional neuroradiology, spinal surgery, or an allied surgical specialty), and/or looking to improve their knowledge and skills to enhance their competitiveness for neurosurgery national selection.
You will work as part of our broader neurosciences team, in a new purpose-built hospital, serving a population of approximately 1.8 million people in south-east Scotland. A team of 12 neurosurgical consultants provide almost all neurosurgical subspecialties.
Neurosurgery Clinical Fellows will manage neurosurgical patients on the ward. You will also have opportunities to assist in theatre and develop surgical skills, to attend sub-specialty MDTs, and to assist in the outpatient department.
The fellows will be encouraged to become involved in research, audit, and QI projects and will be mentored by consultants and neurosurgical trainees.
The fellows will learn a range of clinical skills including lumbar puncture, shunt valve modulation, management of external CSF drainage systems, and have opportunities to assist in theatre and learn basic neurosurgical procedures.
These posts do not have educational approval. Applications will close shortly after national neurosurgical selection announces job offers.
