Trust Doctor Specialising in Retina

The timetable will be focused on a mixture of medical and surgical retina clinics, with an opportunity to have 2-3 supervised Vitreoretinal (VR) lists per week.Applicants do not need to have performed significant numbers of VR procedures prior to starting, but having previous experience in cataract surgery is essential and being able to perform cataract surgeries independently is desirable.The doctor will be encouraged to develop and lead on research and audit projects within our department and a session will be allocated for these activities.The post will involve travelling between the 2 sites on the basis of a set timetable, which may change, depending on progress and departmental factors.

The doctor's timetable may need to be flexible, to allow for internal unexpected staff leave cover.

Participation in the on-call rota is expected 1:8
