Manchester Royal Infirmary is looking to appoint enthusiastic, motivated and dynamic consultants to join our Acute and General Medical teams.
Flexible opportunities exist to appoint 10PA Acute and General Medical consultants or those with job planned time for specialist interests. There is potential to adjust job plans to the needs of suitable applicants, for this reason applicants are encouraged to make contact as early as possible.

The multitude of specialties on site makes practising in MRI particularly exciting as high, cutting-edge medicine and surgery are practised, and there is always help to hand.
