The post-holder will manage a broad caseload of NHS-referred patients across the full scope of outpatient and minor surgical oral surgery, working closely with local referring dental practitioners, the BSW ICB, and the wider specialist dental network.
Part-time. 16 hours per week working Mondays and/or Fridays only. This is an excellent opportunity for a consultant seeking a focused elective practice in a modern, well-resourced environment, with no out-of-hours on-call commitment and strong administrative and clinical support.

Location in Detail:
Bristol is widely regarded as one of the most desirable places to live in the UK, offering a unique combination of economic opportunity, cultural vibrancy, and access to nature. Located in the South West of England, Bristol has developed a strong reputation for innovation, creativity, and sustainability. The city is home to a thriving technology, aerospace, and professional services sector, providing diverse employment opportunities while maintaining a more relaxed pace of life than larger metropolitan areas such as London.
Bristol also offers an exceptional quality of life through its abundance of green spaces and easy access to the countryside. Residents can enjoy parks such as Ashton Court Estate and The Downs, while the nearby coastlines of the South West and the scenic landscapes of the Cotswolds and Mendip Hills provide excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation. Combined with highly regarded schools, excellent universities, and strong transport links to other major UK cities, Bristol continues to attract people seeking a balanced lifestyle that combines urban amenities with access to nature.
