  Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon specialising in Cornea and External Eye Disease
  Peterborough, Hingchingbrooke
  North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust is no ordinary NHS hospital. It has a reputation for dynamism, integration of clinicians in management, and high quality patient care. The Department of Ophthalmology is unusual for a DGH, being arranged by subspecialty for more than a decade, offering the opportunities of a university hospital while also retaining the freedom of movement to innovate. Examples include novel shared care community schemes, integration with optometrists, extended nursing roles, and integrated research that have shaped improvements in eyecare nationally over many years.
  Following the merger of Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals with Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon last year, we have had the opportunity to replace a full time consultant which will add expertise to the new, combined Trust, working alongside a existing colleagues. This is an exciting opportunity for a new Consultant who specialises in Cornea and external Eye Disease, to join a multidisciplinary team providing optimal care.
  The hospitals provide comprehensive ophthalmology care for the Huntingdon, Stamford, Peterborough, Ely and Fenland areas and also receive some referrals from the wider region. This post will have sessions at Hinchingbrooke and Peterborough Hospitals with also on call commitment in their job plan. They will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the cornea and external eye disease service in the new merged organization.
