An opportunity has arisen within the division of surgery at North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH), Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) for two consultant general surgeons with sub-specialty interest in colorectal surgery. The successful candidate will be a core member of the elective and acute general surgery service.

We have a close partnership with the University of Manchester. There will be opportunities to engage in academic activities which may be facilitated by our academic leads.
