A refreshing new healthcare career in an island community.
We have an exciting opportunity for a GMC Specialist Registered Consultant ENT Surgeon with a Special Interest in Rhinology/Facial Plastics to join our two existing ENT Surgeons to provide high quality comprehensive consultant-only secondary care to the local community in the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
About the Medical Specialist Group
We are a partnership of currently 56 Consultants, which, under contract, provides specialist medical services to the Guernsey Health Service with a health care model that is different and separate from the NHS. As well as providing contract care the MSG consultants also provide private care, which is remunerated separately, but is carried out in both MSG and PEH facilities as there are no other private facilities on island. MSG administration and secretarial staff also support a consultant private practice. Tertiary care services are supplied by hospitals on the UK Mainland, mainly Southampton University Hospital, usually through contracted services.
The Princess Elizabeth Hospital is a modern hospital with approximately 145 beds and strong clinical links to UK mainland centres, particularly Southampton General Hospital and Kings College Hospital.
Our vision is to be internationally recognised as a centre of excellence for clinical care and loved by the Guernsey community. Our purpose is to use our expertise and compassion to provide outstanding patient‑centred services that improve the health of the community we serve.
We are looking to appoint a consultant ENT surgeon with a special interest in Rhinology and Facial Plastics (including the surgical management of Skin Cancer in the Head and Neck region) to join our two existing ENT surgeons to provide high quality comprehensive consultant‑only secondary care to the local community in the Bailiwick of Guernsey (65,000 people approx.)
The post has arisen because of increase demand for ENT services in Guernsey and a long‑standing aim to reduce the need for patients to have to travel off‑island for treatment. This new position has been created to enhance and expand on‑island Rhinology services, reduce off‑island Rhinology referrals, support the growing general ENT workload and share the expanding need for Skin Cancer surgery in the Head and Neck region.
We are looking for a candidate who demonstrates clinical excellence, is a good communicator and shares the values we place on long term partnerships.
While the position will include a large element of sub‑specialisation, the applicant must be comfortable assessing the full range of Adult and Paediatric ENT elective conditions (with cross‑referral to colleagues for surgery outside your own sub‑specialty).
There is a 1 in 3 on‑call commitment for this post.
Applicants must be on the GMC Specialist Register or be within 6 months of eligibility for inclusion at the time of interview.
In addition to the appealing lifestyle that Guernsey offers, we have an attractive benefits package which includes:
