We are looking for a specialty doctor to join the Ophthalmology team in Ysbyty Gwynedd, North Wales for 12 months.
The department has individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and a family feel; we like to think that all are welcome here.
Despite being a smallish District General Hospital, we have a busy and varied workload, which peaks in the holiday seasons due to the influx of visitors to our beautiful National Park.
It is important to us that the successful candidate is a great team-player and confident in their anaesthetic skills, as they will be a key member of the overnight on-call team.
Living and working in such a rural area is not suitable for everyone and we intend to offer a one‑year contract to review and convert it into a permanent contract by mutual agreement.
Main Duties of the Job
The appointee will be involved with the examination and treatment of patients in the Ophthalmology Department and will also assist in the Eye Casualty on a regular basis.
The working week will comprise 10 programmed activities. Any changes to the working arrangements will be by means of discussion and agreement.
* Carry out ophthalmic clinical duties as assigned
* Undertake procedures, lasers and relevant clinical investigations as required
* Work a 1 in 4 on‑call rota evenings and weekends (presently on call is 5pm to 10pm weekdays and 9am to 10pm weekends)
* Take part in formal medical audits
The successful candidate will be encouraged and supported to further their career by developing a subspecialty interest of their choice.
