Job description

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

In Moray we do things a bit differently.

We’re different because we focus on relationships across the traditional boundaries of care to provide high quality, proactive, person-centred care.

We’re different because we’re small enough that things are efficient and direct, but big enough that you have robust support and access to everything you need.

We’re different because clinicians influence and lead on developing models of care that serve our population.

We’re different because we value you as a professional and can be flexible in developing a job for you that allows you to explore your professional interests, deliver good care, and respects your work-life balance.

We’re different because you can work and live in a beautiful and thriving corner of Scotland, with world-class leisure pursuits, welcoming people, and a great quality of life.

Interested?

Applications are invited for Emergency Medicine Consultants to join a well-established and enthusiastic team of existing Consultants, dedicated to providing a high quality, Consultant led Emergency Care service. Full consideration will also be given to those who may have an interest in working across Emergency Care, Acute Medicine or Paediatrics. We fully support portfolio working across University or cross-site posts, with some Consultants also working in Pre-hospital and Retrieval Medicine as part of the Emergency Medical Retrieval Service (EMRS) – part of the Scottish Ambulance ScotStar Service.

Dr Gray’s Hospital is situated in Elgin, the county town of Moray, in North-East of Scotland, five miles from the coastal town of Lossiemouth. It is the only centre in Grampian out-with Aberdeen providing a range of acute services. On site services include General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, General Medicine, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology. There is an Acute Medical Assessment Unit and a Stroke and Rehabilitation ward and Day Care ward. There is also an onsite

Consultant led Psychiatry service, with an excellent multi-professional Mental Health service to the ED.

Hyper-acute stroke management takes place in ED, with support from Acute Stroke Consultants in Aberdeen, also now progressing to thrombectomy transfers in selected cases.

The hospital has been redeveloped, with modern equipment and user friendly facilities throughout and there is a library and a Postgraduate Medical Centre with 24/7 access and videoconferencing facilities. A recent addition has seen the development of a new Clinical Skills Centre (CSC) providing a dedicated environment for continuous learning and development for students and all members of staff. The centre benefits from state-of-the-art equipment with virtual ward environments and simulated clinical training.

Dr Gray’s has a close-knit team of 35 Consultants working across the acute sector and provides a Consultant led service with a small-hospital atmosphere of friendly co-operation. There is a good rapport with local General Practitioners.

If you are interested in joining the team at Dr Gray’s we would be delighted to invite you to visit the Hospital and speak to our Clinicians about the work of the department as well as an insight to the recreational activities in the surrounding area.

Full registration with a licence to practise with the GMC is required. (licence to practise must be in place prior to starting in post). For more information visit www.gmc-uk.org
