This is a locum post for a surgeon with an interest in colorectal surgery.

This post will have flexible sessions between the Royal Alexandra Hospital and Vale of Leven.

General Surgery emergency receiving will be undertaken on the Royal Alexandra Hospital site.

This post will contribute to a team of 13 consultant general surgical posts within the RAH. The consultants work across the 3 Clyde sites covering the major sub-specialities of Upper GI and Colorectal. Each sub-specialty employs a team approach with close links to the regional Managed Clinical Networks.

Surgical trainees, at all levels, rotate from the West of Scotland Deanery and are based at the Clyde sites.

Emergency Surgery for the post is based at the Royal Alexandra Hospital (1:13) with clinics, endoscopy and elective surgery at RAH, VoL and IRH.

Fully staffed Intensive Care, High dependency and Palliative Care beds are well utilised. Clinical Nurse Specialists are valued members of the teams.
