To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Clinical Fellow. Our service is led by 14 consultants, who specialise in both clinical and medical oncology.

Dundee is Scotland's fourth largest city and lies on the bank of the River Tay. It houses two large Universities (Abertay and Dundee) and is the focal point of a thriving biomedical technology industry.

Ninewells is a major teaching hospital, and has been designated one of the Regional Cancer Centres in Scotland. We provide all surgical, radiotherapy, and medical oncology services on a single site. The department enjoys close links with the University of Dundee Medical School and Life Sciences, and the successful applicant will be encouraged to develop their role as an educator and researcher.

You will have the opportunity to gain intensive and wide ranging experience in oncology and you will be encouraged to participate in training, teaching, audit and research opportunities. In addition to a busy outpatient service, you will be involved with ward work, our chemotherapy units, our radiotherapy department and the clinical trial (Stefani) unit. We have a 15 bedded ward, taking direct admissions, and an acute Oncology Service which is nurse led.

The post provides an excellent opportunity to gain oncology experience that can help a candidate develop their CV and increase the chance of securing an NTN in due course.
