Looking for a new and exciting challenge? Then think about working in NHS Forth Valley in the heart of Scotland.

NHS Forth Valley seeks to appoint a Consultant Radiologist to complete our complement of 16 WTE. This post is full time (10 programmed activities). Most consultants work these flexibly over 4 weekdays – but those wishing to work less than full time are very welcome to apply.

General Radiologists with a Subspecialty Interest: ideally this would complement the existing interests in the department, but all interests will be considered.

The Radiology Department is a welcoming and cohesive unit; the existing Consultants all have subspecialty interests and Specialist Trainees from both the West and South east Scotland training schemes rotate through the department. There are good relationships with clinical Consultants throughout the hospital. Overnight CT is outsourced from 8pm weeknights and 6pm at weekends.

Forth Valley Royal Hospital serves a population of approximately 310,000 and is just over 10 years old, with state of the art digital Radiology equipment. It is set in attractive parkland, and located centrally between, and within easy reach of, Glasgow and Edinburgh by road or rail. Their respective airports are little over half an hour from most parts of Forth Valley and road and rail links are excellent, enjoy low property prices and the option of a city or country lifestyle, and excellent schools whether state or private.

Applicants are encouraged to visit the Radiology department and meet key staff. Informal enquiries should be directed to Clinical Lead Radiologist Dr Nik Arestis (nikolas.arestis@nhs.scot), Clinical Director Dr Robbie McNeil (robbie.mcneil2@nhs.scot) or Associate Medical Director Dr Sara Else (sara.else@nhs.scot) by email, or by telephone via Radiology Operational Support Manager, Lynne George, on 01324 566684.

You can look forward to a warm welcome and strong support from colleagues. Our hospital is situated in the heart of Scotland, nestled against the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, and close to vibrant towns that are richly endowed with excellent cultural and sporting facilities, offering good transport links to Edinburgh and Glasgow.

To apply for this post, please visit the job posting on the NHS Scotland Job Train website. Applicants should have full GMC registration and a licence to practise. Applicants will be expected to have a wide range of experience in Radiology and possess membership of the Royal College of Radiologists or equivalent. Applicants must be within 6 months of the anticipated award of CCT or have a certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) at date of interview. Applicants applying under the Portfolio pathway must be entered onto the GMC Specialist Register at time of application.
