PS- Consultant in Emergency Medicine

NHS Scotland 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 Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

In Moray we do things a bit differently.

We’re different because we focus on relationships across the traditional boundaries of care to provide high quality, proactive, person-centred care.

We’re different because we’re small enough that things are efficient and direct, but big enough that you have robust support and access to everything you need.

We’re different because clinicians influence and lead on developing models of care that serve our population.

We’re different because we value you as a professional and can be flexible in developing a job for you that allows you to explore your professional interests, deliver good care, and respects your work-life balance.

We’re different because you can work and live in a beautiful and thriving corner of Scotland, with world-class leisure pursuits, welcoming people, and a great quality of life.

The centre benefits from state-of-the-art equipment with virtual ward environments and simulated clinical training.

Dr Gray’s has a close-knit team of 35 Consultants working across the acute sector and provides a Consultant led service with a small-hospital atmosphere of friendly co-operation. There is a good rapport with local General Practitioners.
