Applications are invited for the post of Consultant Ophthalmologist with special interest in Glaucoma at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The postholder will join a team of 22 Consultant Ophthalmologists at an exciting time of new development and investment in the Department of Ophthalmology at Addenbrooke's Hospital.
The successful candidate will help manage and develop the glaucoma service in collaboration with 3 fellow consultants: Miss Humma Shahid, Mr Ian Tapley and Miss Tasneem Khatib.

The glaucoma service is supported by 3 dedicated glaucoma specialist nurses and provides care for our local patients as well as a regional service for more specialist management in the East of England. The glaucoma service deals with the full range of adult glaucoma, including collaboration with the medical ophthalmology service to manage complex uveitis patients.
The successful candidate will participate in the general consultant on-call rota (currently 1 in 9 rota with prospective cover). The on-call service is supported by our ophthalmic trainees and fellows.
Emergency eye care is provided in the Emergency Eye Clinic with support from specialist doctors, clinical fellows and residents including full support from a specialist ophthalmic nursing team.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the teaching activities of the department. There is a well-established regional teaching programme for specialist trainees in ophthalmology in the East of England.
The applicant must have demonstrable skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking in English that enable effective communication about medical topics with patients and colleagues, as set out in the GMC's Good Medical Practice (2013). Non-UK applicants must possess the IELTS/OET exam before obtaining a GMC licence to practice.
