Surgery internship
Location: The Friesian Building 3&4, Dairy Business Park, Brewer Street, Bletchingley Practice: North Downs Specialist Referrals Practice Details
If you are a current Linnaeus Associate, you will need to apply internally. In order to do this, please contact our Talent Acquisition team (details can be found via The Link) and someone will be in touch to discuss and progress your application.
Our surgery team of 5 boarded ECVS specialists are recruiting for a discipline specific intern in surgery for a 1-year fixed-term position. Potential candidates should have completed a 1-year rotating internship. The post would be ideal preparation for a surgical residency. Our program is highly successful with all our previous DSI's achieving a residency position upon completion. Candidates are expected to have good communication skills and excellent written and spoken English. Responsibilities would include taking part in case management, surgical procedures, re-examination clinics, imaging rounds, seminars and journal clubs. There will be opportunities to participate in clinical research and the expectation would be to present and submit a paper by the end of the internship. Candidates would be expected to take part in a weekend rota, but will be fully supervised by a senior surgery clinician at all times. You will also be supported by a team of highly trained discipline-specific nurses within wards and theatre.
The deadline for application is the 17th of April 2026. Applications should include a letter of intent and an updated curriculum vitae, by the link below.
Candidates wishing to discuss the post informally can contact Andy Craig (andy.craig@ndsr.co.uk).
Further information about the hospital can be found at http://www.ndsr.co.uk .
You will be asked to prove your right to work in the U.K. at the time of the application.
