Consultant Post – Emergency medicine recruitment for a consultant in the Shetlands with time for global health work
NHS Shetland is recruiting Emergency Medicine and General Medicine Consulants with 25% of the job plan allocated to Global Health. The rotational working pattern is 4 weeks on the islands followed by 8 weeks off. The off island time includes the paid global health weeks.
A bit more from our colleagues in Shetland:
“My wife and I both work for NHS Shetland on this contract. I am an Emergency Medicine Consultant, and my wife is an O&G Consultant. In our off island 8 week blocks we work with UFM Worldwide…. Alternating between NHS work and global health practice maintains our UK professional registrations and a regular income. It also allows us to support a global health project over a sustained period with a regular time commitment of approximately 50% of the year. This pattern of work provides a meaningful clinical and educational input to the hospital in South Asia where we work without creating a dependence on external volunteer doctors for service provision. The regular breaks in both the NHS and global health work are helpful is keeping us clinically and personally refreshed. The post currently advertised is for either an Acute/General Medicine or an Emergency Medicine Consultant. The advert has a closing date of 1st September 2024 with interviews planned for 16th September 2024″
