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.
Posts are available from February 2026 for period of 6 to 12 months offering advanced sub-specialist training in Paediatric Anaesthesia. The posts are based at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow: a leading Paediatric training centre in the UK with access to all specialities including cardiac, craniofacial, neurosurgery, complex airway, cleft and pain, in addition to a high neonatal workload. Sub-interests in simulation teaching, wellbeing and eco-anaesthesia are now being offered with dedicated SPA time. Research, audit and quality improvement are encouraged. These are exciting and challenging clinical posts for those wishing to have a major interest in paediatric anaesthesia in the future, be it in a tertiary centre or district general hospital. Fellowships can be tailored to accommodate special interests. Applicants MUST hold Certificate of Completion of Specialist training in Anaesthesia or equivalent on starting the post. These posts are not suitable for applicants wishing to pursue the MTI route. Please do not apply if you will not hold a CCT in anaesthetics on starting.
- Applicants who have not undertaken a UK foundation programme within 3.5 years of the advertised post start date, will be asked to submit a Certificate of Readiness to Enter Specialty Training (CREST). The CREST form must be completed by a consultant who has worked with you for a minimum continuous period of three months whole-time equivalent wholly within the 3.5 years prior to the advertised post start date for which you are applying.
- Due to the volume of applications that we receive, we will not be able to provide shortlisting feedback.
