NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
These posts are available from August 2025 and are based at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with a tenure of 12 months. Applications are welcome from doctors who have completed the Foundation Programme and are considering a career in anaesthesia/critical care, or those who have completed core training and are looking for something different prior to the next stage of their career.
Health services across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have undergone a radical transformation to meet the changing needs of the population. In 2015, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital opened at the Southern General Hospital site. This is a flagship Scottish Government project and incorporated the services from the Victoria Infirmary, Southern General Hospital, and Western Infirmary. The new hospital has three 10-bed combined critical care units, two 10-bed High Dependency Units and a further 9 beds in Medical High Dependency. The successful applicant will principally fulfil their clinical commitments in the mixed HDU/ICU.
In addition, the new Glasgow Children’s Hospital is co-located on site and this facility works closely with the recently opened Maternity hospital. Therefore, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is not only the largest hospital campus in Glasgow but one of the most modern and cutting-edge locations for medical care in Scotland.
Applicants must have full GMC Registration and a license to practise.
