“Lake District Surgery. High quality care in stunning surroundings!”

The Lake District is quite probably the most beautiful region in England and not surprisingly the National Park is the most visited in the country. Holiday makers are attracted here by the stunning scenery, the wealth of leisure activities and the multitude of good places to eat and drink. But why holiday here when you could be living and working here?

We are looking for a General Surgery Consultant, with a focus on emergency and colorectal surgery to join a well-functioning team. The post has become available following departure of a consultant colleague.  The post holder will undertake initially 10 PAs including 1.5 SPAs and 1 admin PA. On-calls will be at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, a level-two trauma centre, on a 1 in 8 non-resident basis.

Our strong ties with Lancaster University offer great opportunities to get involved with teaching medical students and with research; the launch of the Health Innovation Campus brings us further local opportunity.

We are therefore delighted to offer this wonderful opportunity for a suitably trained General surgeon to take up a post working in a successful, modern, and welcoming department, delivering outstanding results in a breathtakingly beautiful part of England.

Interview date is to be confirmed early to mid September
