Description

A vacancy has arisen for a Consultant Ophthalmologist based at Mountainhall Treatment Centre, Bankend Road, Dumfries, DG1 4AP.

We are looking for the successful appointee to provide General Ophthalmology Services, with a specialist interest complementary to those of the other Consultants.

The Department provides an Ophthalmology Service for the Dumfries and Galloway Region (population of approximately 150,000).

The main base for the Department is the Mountainhall Treatment Centre (MTC) where Out-patient and Theatre Day Case activities are provided.

General Anaesthetic Theatre and Acute Care is provided in the state-of-the-art Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary (DGRI) in Dumfries.

Local anaesthetic Theatre lists and Out-patient clinics including a Macular service are also provided at the Galloway Community Hospital (GCH) in Stranraer.

Medical staff are supported by Nurse Practitioners in Macular, Glaucoma, Cataract and Plastics clinics. Our Paediatric service is fully supported by our Orthoptic team.

The region offers beautiful countryside, from rugged cliffs and sandy beaches to forests, hills and rolling plains.

There is a wide range of activities on offer, with watersports, fishing, birdwatching, golf, mountain-biking or cycling along the network of rural roads and much more.

House prices are low, schools are good and you are within 2 hours of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lake District and Newcastle.

NHS Dumfries and Galloway offer a full relocation package.

Applications for part-time or job share employment are also welcome.
