Job Description:

We have been assigned by one of the UK\’s more prestigious NHS Trusts to help them recruit a Consultant in Ophthalmology with an interest in Glaucoma on either a substantive or NHS fixed-term basis for 12 months to join their successful Ophthalmology department.

The department is very busy, with pre-COVID activity levels (2019/2020) including 18,111 new patients, 65,538 follow-up appointments, and 4,536 day cases. Elective and non-elective activities are small, approximately 60 per annum. The team covers all major subspecialties in ophthalmology, including cornea, glaucoma, oculoplastic, cataract, neuro-ophthalmology, medical retina, uveitis, urgent care, and pediatric services. There is no consultant-led emergency service, but rapid access clinics operate at both hospitals for urgent referrals from GPs and optometrists.

The successful candidate will undertake various duties, including leading specific initiatives within a multidisciplinary team, with a special interest in glaucoma. They should offer expertise in glaucoma management, general ophthalmic services, and cataract surgery. Collaboration with orthoptists and optometrists is essential, as is working closely with other glaucoma consultants to improve service efficiencies. Given the backlog of glaucoma patients awaiting follow-up, the appointee should be committed to enhancing clinical care quality, participating in incident reporting, risk management, governance meetings, audits, and clinical teaching of junior staff.

Our client offers a balanced lifestyle, with access to vibrant cities, market towns, villages, and excellent transport links to London and two international airports.

Additional Information:

• Will consider full-time or part-time
• 10 P.A.s
• Prestigious NHS Trust
