We are looking for a specialist plastic surgeon to deliver dermatology skin procedures in an outpatient setting with 1 session a month in theatres.

- A dedicated planned care site at The Princess Royal Hospital, supporting high‑quality elective surgery and improved patient flow This is your opportunity to join us at the perfect moment — early enough to influence the design and delivery of future services, but close enough to opening that you’ll see your impact become reality.
