Medical Observers (Non-Clinical) (Qualified Doctors)

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board are pleased to offer Medical Observer placements . A clinical attachment is a short term unpaid placement for a qualified international doctor who needs experience of the NHS and is not currently working in an NHS Trust/Health Board in the UK.

This is an observer role only and the doctor doing a Medical Observeration will not have direct patient contact or take on any responsibility.

Medical Observers are available for the following:

• Doctors who have qualified abroad and would like to gain some experience of UK culture and the NHS
• Doctors returning to practice following a break
• Doctors requesting experience of a particular specialty to aid GMC Registration or help back to work

All Medical Observer doctors will still need to undertake the same checks as any other member of staff working for the NHS, including Occupational Health clearance and the Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) clearance or International Police Checks.
