Job Description:
NHS HIGHLAND
Raigmore Hospital
Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon
NHS Highland is seeking a third Breast Surgeon to join our multidisciplinary team and replace a retiring colleague. The Highland Breast Centre in Inverness hosts the North of Scotland Breast Screening Service, which screened 14,000 women last year, and provides a specialist symptomatic service for NHS Highland and NHS Western Isles. The Centre manages around 300 new breast cancer diagnoses annually.
The successful candidate will provide surgical diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer patients; experience in oncoplastic breast surgery is highly desirable. We also welcome teaching or research interests, with close links to the University of Aberdeen.
Enjoy a work/life balance with access to mountains, beaches, and vibrant communities. NHS Highland covers over 300,000 people across approximately 10,000 square miles. Despite the rural setting, the Highlands has excellent transport links, high-ranking schools, and a dynamic city life in Inverness.
Healthcare services are provided by Raigmore Hospital in Inverness and rural general hospitals. You will be one of three breast surgeons at the Highland Breast Centre, which combines screening and symptomatic services in a purpose-built facility, the first of its kind in Scotland.
We are developing our non-medical workforce, including advanced practitioners and radiographers, and plan to expand our team further. Patients are supported by breast care nurses, with plans to add more specialist nursing roles.
As part of the North Cancer Alliance and the North of Scotland Breast Screening Service, we benefit from strong collaborations and peer support. Our surgeons hold leadership roles in regional cancer initiatives. We have referral pathways to plastic surgical services in Livingston.
Applicants are encouraged to contact the department before applying to learn more about us. Shortlisted candidates should ensure they have spoken to us to understand the role fully.
