NS228009 Consultant Nephrologist – NHS Scotland
Applications are invited for a full-time, permanent Consultant post in Nephrology, based at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
Aberdeen Royal Infirmary is the major teaching hospital for the North East of Scotland. The Renal Unit provides tertiary services for the NHS Grampian region and the Shetland and Orkney Islands. Peritoneal and Haemodialysis are provided across the region through a network of satellite units all managed from the main unit in Aberdeen. In‑patient care is provided in the state‑of‑the‑art Emergency Care Centre. Acute renal replacement is provided within the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for patients from across the region. Multisystem Vasculitis is a particular interest of the unit and is managed in a collaborative manner with specialists from other departments. Renal transplantation is carried out in the Edinburgh Transplant Unit with patients returning for ongoing follow‑up in Aberdeen around one week after operation. We are actively promoting home dialysis therapies including Peritoneal Dialysis and Haemodialysis. The unit has an active research programme working jointly with the University of Aberdeen.
Key interests range from the basic biology of Renal Inflammatory disease to the epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease and associated health servicing planning. There are excellent postgraduate educational facilities at the Suttie Centre for Medical Education on the same campus as the hospital.
Full registration with a licence to practise with the GMC is required. (licence to practise must be in place prior to starting in post).
