We have an opportunity for a Clinical Fellow in General Surgery at the level of FY2. The successful applicant will join the General Surgical Team in the Acute Services Division of NHS Fife, working under the supervision of our General Surgical Consultants. You will take part in the junior middle-grade rota (currently 1:9) covering emergency admissions in General Surgery and Urology for both days and nights. You will also have the opportunity to get appropriate training in elective general surgery (operating, outpatients, endoscopy, multidisciplinary team working) alongside our Core Trainee doctors.

The successful applicant will be based at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, where inpatient surgical wards and theatres are located in a new facility that opened early in 2012. All inpatient activity occurs at the Victoria Hospital, whilst Endoscopy, Day Surgery and Outpatient Clinics also take place in Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline, the Adamson Hospital in Cupar, and St Andrews Community Hospital. The general surgical teams perform a wide range of laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures and have excellent support from interventional radiology and gastroenterology teams.
