About NHS Highland Cancer Services
NHS Highland Cancer Services looks after over 300,000 people spread over approximately 10,000 square miles and that that makes delivering a 21st century standard of healthcare interesting. Going beyond this, NHS Highland also provides cancer services to the Western Isles and areas of Grampian. We must be innovative, forward thinking, engaging and embrace the challenges of a truly remote and rural population to ensure access to healthcare where and when it is needed.
The Highlands has excellent transport links to the rest of the UK with Inverness airport connecting the Highlands to the rest of the world. Highland schools rank highly in Scottish league tables, housing options are excellent, and Inverness is a dynamic and diverse city with all the modernity an urban dweller could desire.
About NHS Highland
NHS Highland covers an area from Caithness in the far north of Scotland to Campbeltown on the Kintyre peninsula. Secondary healthcare is provided by Raigmore (district general) Hospital in Inverness and rural general hospitals (RGHs) in Wick, Fort William and Oban. Our team is based in Inverness and at full complement consists of 7 consultant oncologists who provide a comprehensive service across the Highlands. Approximately 1400 new cancer patients are seen annually. We have strong links to community, a solid cohort of outreach workers and locally based skills across the north. This is something we have been continually developing and are proud of the achievements made. We are keen to attract a Clinical Oncologist whose skills and outlook complement those of the existing team and to do so can negotiate job plans which accommodate research, teaching and development.
