This 12‑month fixed‑term post provides an excellent opportunity to gain high‑quality ENT surgical and clinical experience within a supportive, well‑structured and friendly department. You will work alongside experienced consultants and multidisciplinary colleagues, with a strong emphasis on learning, supervision and professional development. The role is ideally suited to doctors looking to build skills, achieve key competencies and strengthen their portfolio in preparation for surgical training applications.
