PM225342 - Specialty Doctor

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated Specialty Doctor/Clinical Fellow in Breast Surgery to work with our friendly and proactive expanding team. We are looking for an experienced doctor in Breast Surgery.

This is a 1-year fixed-term, full-time post of 40 hours per week with no out-of-hours on-call commitments. The successful candidate is expected to work independently with own clinics and theatre sessions, depending on surgical skills, and build towards a totally independent practice with consultant support when needed.

The department offers a full service of Screening and Symptomatic Breast cancer care, with access to radiological support including MRI biopsy and AI diagnostic facilities. The theatre suite supports a range of Oncoplastic Breast Surgery, from localisation of non-palpable lesions to various Oncoplastic techniques and reconstruction, with support from microsurgery colleagues in Plastic Surgery. The department is part of the North East of Scotland Training program, providing full training support and facilities across hospitals.

There is active trial recruitment and research projects, along with a full teaching program.

The successful candidate should be flexible to cover clinical work in new patient one-stop clinics, review clinics, and inpatient care. On-call commitments during working hours for breast abscess referrals and other specialties will be shared among middle-grade doctors. Assistance in theatre sessions will be required, progressing to independent practice based on experience, with development of skills in breast cancer surgery. Participation in weekly MDT and screening clinics is expected, alongside assisting consultant colleagues with result clinics during their absence.

Candidates working towards higher exams, CESR, or with specific development needs are encouraged to discuss their plans early with the department head to facilitate progress.

Attendance at regular teaching and training sessions, involvement in QI projects, M&M, and CME activities are expected.

Full GMC registration with a license to practice is required prior to starting the post. More information can be found at .
