Have you got a passion for remote and rural medicine? Are you keen to escape the rat race and embrace a healthier work life balance?

If you answered ‘yes’, NHS Western Isles has the perfect opportunity for you. This is an exciting chance to join our team of Consultants, where you will become part of the NHS Western Isles family, and will have the chance to develop your skills and confidence within a supportive team, with the remote island location providing a very special extra sense of reward.

Known as Scotland’s Atlantic Islands, the Western Isles are steeped in history and culture, with stunning landscapes, spectacular coastlines, a strong sense of community and identity, and renowned Hebridean hospitality. For those with young families, the Western Isles also offer a safe place to live, a high quality education system, with low levels of crime.

We are inviting applications for the post of Consultant Radiologist at the Western Isles Hospital. This is for a full time Consultant Radiologist, 10 PAs. For more information on living and working in the Western Isles visit the website: http://www.wihb.scot.nhs.uk/wihrr.pdf.

The successful applicant will have responsibility for providing a comprehensive clinical radiology service for NHS Western Isles including the ongoing development and consolidation of a robust governance program.

With a range of general skills, you’ll be able to demonstrate good communication and leadership abilities and be able to manage, motivate and lead the Radiology team. The sustainability of this singlehanded post is ensured by an Obligate Network, currently supported by NHS Borders, who provide out of hours and leave cover, peer support and second opinion.

Whilst duties can be based at the Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway, this post has the potential for a proportion of the job planned time being worked remotely.

Applicants will be expected to have a wide range of experience in Radiology and possess the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists or equivalent. The successful candidate would be expected to undertake work in all imaging modalities offered by the department and support radiographer role development and associated education provision.
