Overview
Applications invited for a Consultant Urological Surgeon role based at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness. The post is offered on the new Consultant Contract terms on a 10 programmed activity basis, with the possibility of two EPAs. The appointee will participate in the on-call rota.
Raigmore Hospital is the principal elective acute hospital for the Highlands and Islands, hosting the Highland Urology Centre.
