We are looking to welcome new colleagues to join an enthusiastic, motivated, and supportive team of 23 Consultant Emergency Physicians (19 WTE) dedicated to providing care that is patient-centred, safe, and clinically effective.
You will work in the Emergency Department at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, which opened in 2012. The department has an annual attendance of 72,000 with approximately 25% paediatrics.
There is a 24-hour middle grade rota filled with a mixture of Trainees from the South-East and East of Scotland rotations, specialty doctors, and senior fellows.
We have an excellent relationship and collaborate closely with all in-patient teams. As a department, we are committed to teaching and providing a positive experience of EM to our junior doctors. Our trainees rate their experiences in Fife highly, and this is recognised regionally and in GMC surveys.
About the Role
NHS Fife welcomes applications from both newly qualified and established Consultants in Emergency Medicine to join and expand our motivated, enthusiastic, and dedicated team. They will be encouraged to develop a specialist interest relevant to Emergency Medicine so complementing current Consultants’ interests.
Applicants who wish to arrange job plans to accommodate other professional interests are encouraged to apply.
Requirements
Applicants must have full GMC Registration, a license to practise, and be eligible for inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register. Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from the date of interview. Portfolio Pathway (formerly known as CESR - Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) route doctors are only eligible to apply for a substantive consultant post once it has been awarded. Non-UK applicants must demonstrate equivalent training to demonstrate that they have the knowledge, skills, and experience required for practising as an eligible specialist in the UK.

Authenticity in Applications
AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application but your answers must be your own.
- Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
- Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
- Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
