Bank Specialty Doctor - Glaucoma | Ophthalmology | Optegra Eye Hospital Yorkshire, Bradford BD10

Contract type: Bank – flexible sessions

Pay: Up to £65 per hour

Role Overview

Optegra is recruiting a Bank Specialty Doctor in Glaucoma for our eye hospital in Bradford BD10, paying up to £65 per hour. Optegra is one of the UK's leading specialist ophthalmology providers, delivering both NHS and privately funded eye care.

This Bank Glaucoma Doctor role suits a GMC-registered ophthalmologist who wants flexible, well-paid clinical sessions in a dedicated glaucoma service without the administrative load of a substantive post.

Pay and Session Information

• Up to £65 per hour
• Bank contract, sessions booked around your availability
• Based at Optegra Eye Hospital Yorkshire, 937 Harrogate Road, Apperley Bridge, Bradford BD10
• Free on-site parking, four miles from Leeds Bradford Airport

About the Opportunity

You will work alongside the Lead Consultant for Glaucoma and a skilled multi-disciplinary team, running glaucoma consultations, assessing suitability for treatment and building management plans in line with NICE guidance and Optegra clinical policy.

This is a dedicated glaucoma service in a purpose-built eye hospital — you see glaucoma patients, with consultant support and modern diagnostic equipment, rather than fitting glaucoma around a general ophthalmology list.
