NHS Lothian is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

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

Applications are invited for a Consultant in Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. This is an opportunity to join an enthusiastic and dynamic group of 13 anaesthetists who support the cardiothoracic services in Edinburgh. This post is available immediately.

You should have a clear interest in cardiothoracic anaesthesia and critical care and also have considerable experience in transoesophageal echocardiography. The post is full time with 8 direct clinical care programmed activities and 2 supporting professional activities. Up to two extra programmed activities may be available depending on the needs of the service.

Applicants must have full GMC Registration, a license to practise and eligible for inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register. Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from the date of interview. CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) route doctors are only eligible to apply for a substantive consultant post once CESR is awarded. Non-UK applicants must demonstrate equivalent training.

A full range of conventional cardiothoracic services are offered in Edinburgh in addition to some more specialised procedures including minimally invasive mitral valve surgery; thoracic aortic surgery (in collaboration with the national TAAA service) and the national TAVI service.

The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh has a large anaesthetic department that has close links with the University of Edinburgh Department of Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine. As a result, a range of opportunities exist for teaching, research and quality improvement work.

Edinburgh is a fantastic, vibrant city with a wide range of cultural and leisure pursuits available. Out with the centre, there is easy access to the beautiful surrounding countryside and coastline.
