This post has been developed to support the management of planned care services at the Gilbert Bain Hospital and is currently offered as a secondment for 12 weeks due to covering a secondment, but could be extended to the end of March 2027.
The Gilbert Bain Hospital has 34 acute beds, 2 HDU beds, a Maternity Unit, Day Surgery Unit and an Ambulatory Care facility. The Hospital also has a full range of diagnostic, inpatient and outpatient services and is located in Lerwick, Shetland.
This post is supported by a wider management team and will report to the Elective Care Lead.
