Opportunity

At Pulse Doctors, we are delighted to be working in partnership with a leading independent UK provider of elective care to recruit an experienced, GDC-registered Consultant in Oral Surgery to lead and deliver a high-volume elective oral surgery service from their Wiltshire site.

In the well-equipped theatre complex there is an admissions team, experienced oral surgery dental and scrub nurses.
