The Cambridge HPB Surgical Unit is the centralised regional HPB referral centre for East Anglia covering a population of 2.5 million.

The post offers excellent sub-specialty training in HPB surgery.

Candidates will preferably have previous experience at Specialty Registrar level in General Surgery; experience in HPB Surgery is desirable but not essential.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will provide senior surgical cover for HPB patients, including attending operating theatres, outpatient clinics, HPB MDT meetings, and covering the on-call rota for HPB surgery.
