Consultant, SAS & specialty doctor jobs — NHS and worldwide
Consultants, specialty & associate specialist (SAS) doctors and senior registrars placed into leading hospitals and health systems — with full support on specialist registration, visas and relocation. Always free for doctors.
Overview
Hospital medicine is where our roots are. We place doctors at every level — from senior registrars to substantive consultants and SAS doctors — across a broad range of specialties, and we understand the registration and job-planning detail that makes a move abroad actually work.
The NHS and health systems across Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the Gulf all face consultant shortages in specialties such as radiology, psychiatry, emergency medicine, anaesthetics and histopathology — which means genuine choice, strong pay and real leverage for the right doctor.
