Tertiary care is provided through a network of community and rural general hospitals with a modern acute district hospital of over 450 beds serving the region from the Highlands’ main city Inverness. There are services in a wide range of medical and surgical specialties and close integration of clinical teams.
We are seeking talented and enthusiastic doctors who can make a real difference to the people of the Highlands. Our aim is to provide patient centred services tailored to individual needs.
NHS Highland is a very ambitious organisation, always striving to do the best for the people of Highland while at the same time, not afraid to tackle traditional ways of thinking. This is best illustrated by becoming the first Health Board in Scotland to integrate Health and Adult Social Services in 2012.
We are passionate about growing research and development within NHS Highland. We have a mature research infrastructure based on campus in the Centre for Health Science, Inverness.
The Centre houses state of the art research and design laboratories, skills centres and multimodal lecture spaces. One of five Clinical Search Facilities is sited within the centre.
There are huge opportunities to engage in existing research or to start novel work. We have multiple collaborative projects with partners throughout Scotland and the UK.
The Highland Quality Approach is at the very core of our organisation, ensuring that developing our services and staff is high on our agenda.
