LOCUM SPECIALTY GRADE DOCTOR - OPHTHALMOLOGY
The appointment is for a locum specialty doctor post in Ophthalmology. This is short-term post until end of August 2025, working predominantly with our medical and surgical retina team as well as uveitis team.
This post is designed as a post CCST position but those nearing completion of their specialist training programme or equivalent will be considered. Please note however that the period may not be accredited for CCST training by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.
The duties will be undertaken at the Queens Medical Centre Campus site of NUH.
This is an opportunity for a dynamic and motivated individual to gain extensive experience working within a busy ophthalmic teaching department that provides Eye Casualty, inpatient and outpatient services which include a comprehensive range of sub specialties.
