The ENT service has the potential for expansion of an additional theatre from 2 days per week to 5 in the near future. We’re seeking an individual, desirably with experience in Vascular and/or Head & Neck surgery, who is ready to lead by example, support colleagues at all levels, and champion highquality, patientcentred care. You will be someone who thrives in a multidisciplinary environment, communicates with confidence, and embraces innovation and change with a positive mindset.
