Summary
A Vacancy at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Applications are invited for a specialty doctor post with an interest in medical retina. We are looking for an enthusiastic ophthalmologist with three or more years’ experience to join one of the UK’s premier eye departments. The focus of this post will be on medical retina services but will include a contribution to general and emergency ophthalmology and the opportunity to participate and develop a role in other ophthalmic sub-specialties according to the applicant’s interests and the needs of the department. It is expected that the appointed candidate will develop and lead in one aspect within medical retina.
This is a full time post (eight sessions of clinical care, one admin session and one for supporting professional activities), though individuals meeting the person specification criteria who wish to work less than full time are welcome and encouraged to apply. The post is based chiefly at the Royal Liverpool Hospital site but does include a commitment to the anti-VEGF service provided by Aintree to the Isle of Man. This will comprise one day per month spent at Nobles Hospital in Douglas on the Isle of Man.
St. Paul’s Eye Unit is a vibrant and innovative department. The successful applicant will join a group of over thirty consultants including five clinical academics at consultant level.

For the 630,000 people across Merseyside, we are their local NHS. We provide general and emergency hospital care, alongside highly specialised regional services for more than two million people in the North West.
