There is close integration with other core disciplines (neurology, ophthalmology, dermatology, anaesthesiology and diagnostic imaging), and on-site facilities include magnetic resonance imaging, fluoroscopy, nuclear imaging, radio-iodine therapy and full diagnostic laboratories. There are outstanding opportunities for clinical research within the AHT, and collaborative research is also strongly encouraged.
We are looking for an experienced clinician who ideally would either hold, or be eligible to sit for, the ECVIM or ACVIM Diploma in Oncology. Salary will be dependent on qualifications.
