This will include clinical sessions at Addenbrooke's Hospital, and application will be made to the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for the award of an Honorary Consultant contract.

Appointment will be to the retiring age subject to satisfactory completion of a probationary period. The salary scale will be £73,403 to £98,962, according to the level of seniority.
