Consultant in Infectious Diseases with either Microbiology or General Medicine
NHS Lanarkshire is seeking to appoint three new Infection Consultant posts.
Applicants are invited for the posts of Consultant in Infectious Diseases with either Microbiology or General Medicine, based at University Hospital Monklands (UHM).
This is a new and innovative development which will bring together the existing departments of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology. We are looking to appoint Infection Specialists - either Infectious Diseases with Microbiology or Infectious Diseases with General Medicine. The introduction of these new posts will allow us to restructure how clinical infection services are delivered in NHS Lanarkshire, allowing a more holistic bench-to-bedside Infection service. The post holders will join 9 existing consultants and 2 specialty doctors in a Department of Infection.
In addition, NHS Lanarkshire is committed to developing pathways of care for our patients that avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and that support safe and timeous discharges. As part of this, there is a commitment to a large-scale expansion of the regional OPAT (outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy) service in order to offer equitable access to OPAT across Lanarkshire for all patients who may benefit from outpatient IV antibiotics.
These posts are flexible dependent on the educational background and special interests of the successful candidates, please refer to the job pack for more detail.
Informal enquiries will be welcomed by Dr S Dundas, Clinical Lead and Consultant Infectious Diseases Physician (01698 752435) & Dr Carlos Van Lopez, Clinical Lead and Consultant in Microbiology (01355 584353).
For any application queries, please contact Nicole Hetherington, Senior HR Assistant on 01698 754350 or via medical.dentalconsultant@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk
