General Surgical Unit comprises 14 GI Surgeons with specialist interests in Bariatric, Upper GI and Colorectal Surgery and 5 Breast Surgeons performing a full range of Oncoplastic and reconstructive surgeries.
The GI and Breast Units have an excellent reputation for training and this will be a great opportunity for the right candidate to further their career.
