In this context, development of a specialist interest, teaching and research will all be essential components of the successful applicants' job plans. Continuous professional development will be actively supported.

You will be based in Swansea at one of the two Departmental sites, as per mutual agreement. As part of the ARCH project, Cellular Pathology services will be relocating in future to a new build at the Morriston Hospital campus.

You must be fully registered with the GMC, be on the specialist register and have the Certificate of Completion of Training or be within 6 months of obtaining it by the date of the interview.
