• Facilities that support your growth: Think ICU suites, CT, fluoroscopy, critical care ventilators, endoscopy, digital radiography, ultrasonography, and in-house lab equipment—everything you need to level up.
• A culture of learning: With daily case rounds, in-house education (that you get paid to attend!), and generous CPD leave and allowances, we prioritise your development.
