In terms of support, you will work alongside proactive specialist internal medicine (and cardiology), anaesthesia and ophthalmology services, high-quality out of hours clinical teams and brilliant nurses.

We believe in ensuring a good work/life balance and sharing a top remuneration package with you.

There will be an opportunity to play a lead role in delivering surgery services to the new sites.

We are exploring equity options for the new sites.
