LOCUM CONSULTANT HISTOPATHOLOGIST (AUTOPSY)

NHS Ayrshire and Arran provides an area wide general diagnostic pathology service. We are looking for a Consultant Pathologist who has a special interest in Autopsy Pathology.  

This post, which is based in the Area Laboratories within University Hospital Crosshouse will have responsibility for the provision of specialist autopsy pathology services.  The post holder will undertake hospital and procurator fiscal autopsies and will have a role in teaching and training in Autopsy Pathology. Additional opportunities in other specialist areas may also be available.

We are looking for dynamic and enthusiastic individuals to join our friendly team of consultant histopathologists. The laboratory provides an extensive range of Histopathology and Cytopathology services including autopsy and frozen section services.  Although there is some flexibility in opportunities, the majority of clinical time for this post will be allocated to autopsy pathology. The current opportunities can be discussed with the Head of Service, Dr Maha Elgoweini, prior to application/interview.

Consideration will also be given to candidates interested in a smaller sessional contribution to the service. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis with the Organisation in consultation with consultant colleagues.

Applications from an NHS Locum position are also welcome.
