Senior Clinical Lecturer (Scholarship), Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition

Applications are invited from General Practitioners registered with the General Medical Council.  The University of Aberdeen, in partnership with NHS Grampian, is developing a new Teaching Centre (TC) within the Health Sciences Building at Foresterhill. The Teaching Centre will provide structured, supervised clinical placements for final-year medical students in both General Practice and Mental Health, starting in September 2026. This initiative responds to a critical shortage of placement capacity caused by rising student numbers and increasing pressure on GP practices and mental health services. This innovative project allows the University to provide authentic, real consultations with patients, triaged from their own practices, for our senior years medical students and aims to complement the teaching students already receive in our teaching practices across Scotland.
