The successful applicant will also help provide simulation opportunities to these students, which will ideally be multi-disciplinary, using our state-of-the-art simulation equipment and building on previously written simulation scenarios.


Medical Education activity will also include working with post-graduate doctors and other healthcare professionals, for example providing, with our existing faculty, workplace simulation.

Clinical work will be on our rehabilitation ward (Inpatients 2), that incorporates MacMillan beds primarily used for palliative care. This is an opportunity to further develop clinical skills and independent working in a supportive environment with senior supervision. The post-holder would be supported to undertake a PGCert in medical education.

With views as far as the eyes can see, stunning beaches and miles-upon-miles of coastline, you'll always find your own space in Orkney.

With this, it is no surprise that Orkney has been voted the best place to live in Scotland for eight years running.

Orkney has several flights a day to Scotland's largest airports, so you won't feel isolated here.

Very low crime levels and a strong sense of community make Orkney a safe and secure environment for all ages too.

And the best bit is there being very little traffic anywhere - your daily commute will be almost non-existent
