Successful candidates will be given time to undertake supporting professional activities including training and teaching or to pursue sub-specialty interests. Continuing professional development and research is important to us. We can offer a generous study leave package and the opportunity to develop academic links with the University of Aberdeen, with whom we have several joint appointments. Candidates must be included on the GMC Specialist Register or UK Public Health Register. Candidates for Consultant in Public Health Medicine posts who trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register from date of interview. Alternatively, applicants should possess a CESR / CESR (CP). Applications from doctors with appropriate specialist training and experience who are not listed on the GMC Specialist Register can be considered for a Locum Consultant post (up to 12 months) if no substantive Consultant appointment is made. Whilst in locum employment, an application to obtain a CESR / CESR (CP) and entry onto the Specialist Register can be made.
