Job description

The principal general surgical departments have benefitted from the Trust's substantial capital investment and enjoy modern accommodation and state-of-the-art equipment. Staff are enthusiastic, friendly and motivated and work effectively as a team. Relationships with surgeons and other clinicians are excellent.
