NHS Lothian is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.
To this end, NHS Lothian welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
Applications are welcome for the above fixed term, full / (40 hours per week) post based in The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
This post is suitable for an ST7/8 or equivalent specialty registrar or immediate post-CCT fellow who wishes to gain experience in advanced hepatobiliary surgery and multi-organ transplantation. This post will provide experience in liver, pancreas and renal transplantation, live donor kidney donation as well as deceased donor organ donation (including novel organ perfusion technologies). The post-holder will also gain experience in open and laparoscopic management of complex HPB conditions, benign and malignant.
Candidates should therefore have had significant previous training in Transplant and/or HPB surgery. The post will comprise both emergency duties on the transplant registrar rota, covering multi-organ retrieval and transplantation as well as elective sessions at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
The post is suitable for a candidate who has completed general surgical training and is keen to gain in-depth training in transplant and/or HPB surgery, leading to independent clinical practice.
The post holder will be based primarily at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, but will be required to undertake multi-organ retrievals at hospitals throughout Scotland and the UK.
The post does not have educational approval from the Postgraduate Dean and will not be recognised for training.
