Job Overview
Specialty Doctor in Anaesthetics
The Anaesthetics Department at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic new specialty doctor to join our team.
The post consists of provision of anaesthesia on supervised weekday elective operating lists, and evening and weekend resident cover for emergency theatres, labour ward or critical care. The successful applicant will join a 1 in 9 resident rota (one of four out-of-hours resident rotas in anaesthetics and critical care).
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications. We encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Main duties of the job
We are a friendly department, with supportive colleagues and many opportunities for career development. The surrounding areas provide many amenities and exciting activities for individuals and families, and despite being in a rural area, there is also easy access by road or rail to major UK cities.
Further information about the post may be obtained by contacting Dr Gareth Mula, Clinical Lead by email Gareth.Mula2@wales.nhs.uk
As part of the Health Board’s strategic collaboration with Bangor University, individuals with an interest in teaching and research who can demonstrate and agree a possible contribution to the School can be considered and nominated for recognition through the University’s process for granting honorary titles and help to deliver our shared vision for the North Wales School of Medicine and Health.
The advert may be closed early if sufficient applications have been received.
