About the role

We are looking for a full time Locum Consultant Paediatric ENT surgeon to deliver activity between St George's University Hospitals and Croydon University Hospitals.

The aim is to provide a collaborative and integrated service for South West Thames and surrounding counties. All in-patient operating has been centralised on the St. George's Hospital site. The other linked hospital units within the group include Croydon University Hospital NHS Trust, Kingston NHS Trust, and Epsom and St Helier Hospitals NHS Trust and Queen Mary's Hospital. Outpatient clinics and day surgery continue on these sites
