Bangor Hospital is sandwiched between Snowdonia National Park and the stunning coastline of Anglesey. The area is well known for its beautiful beaches, lakes and mountains and is becoming popular for those seeking an outdoor lifestyle. If you like outdoor pursuits, hill-walking, rock-climbing, kite-surfing and sailing, then all of these are on your doorstep, yet we are only a one hour's drive to Chester / M6 and three hours to London by direct train.
This 6-month post will be available from 05 February 2025 and is based in a well-supported environment within a friendly rural DGH, covering a rural area the size of Greater London. There are unique challenges in delivering high quality health care to this diverse population and we are seeking a highly motivated team player to come and join a dynamic team of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals.
Main duties of the job
To practice medicine in the UK you need to hold both GMC registration and a licence to practise. The post does not have educational approval from the Postgraduate Dean and is not recognised for training but appropriate educational supervision will be provided.
In addition to ward cover, the successful applicant will have access to outpatient clinics and Cardiology investigations.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
