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.
We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
Applications are welcome for the above fixed term, full (40 hours per week) post based in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
This is a full time post in Critical Care based at Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh available for 6 months from February 2026. It is anticipated that the successful candidates would participate in the junior rota but candidates with appropriate experience may be able to work on senior rota. Development time will be available to pursue other interests (research, QI, accreditation in critical care echocardiography, simulation, critical care follow up). The posts are particularly suitable for candidates between core and specialty training, but those who have completed foundation training are also welcome to apply. The posts are EWTD compliant.
The Critical Care Fellowship offers an exciting opportunity to work in a busy Critical Care service in Scotland. Successful applicants will also enjoy living in Edinburgh, a vibrant modern capital city that has retained much of its historic architecture but is also famous for its festivals.
The post does not have educational approval from the Postgraduate Dean and will not be recognised for training.
