Consultant in Infectious Diseases with either Microbiology or General Medicine

University Hospital Monklands

NHS Lanarkshire is seeking to appoint 2 new Infection Consultants.

Applicants are invited for the posts of Consultant in Infectious Diseases with either Microbiology or General Medicine, based at University Hospital Monklands (UHM).

This is a new and innovative development which will bring together the existing departments of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology. We are looking to appoint Infection Specialists—either Infectious Diseases with Microbiology or Infectious Diseases with General Medicine. The introduction of these new posts will allow us to restructure how clinical infection services are delivered in NHS Lanarkshire, allowing a more holistic bench‑to‑bedside Infection service.

The post holders will join nine existing consultants and two specialty doctors in a Department of Infection.

In addition, NHS Lanarkshire is committed to developing pathways of care for our patients that avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and that support safe and time‑ous discharges. As part of this, there is a commitment to a large‑scale expansion of the regional OPAT (outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy) service in order to offer equitable access to OPAT across Lanarkshire for all patients who may benefit from outpatient IV antibiotics.

These posts are adaptable,



dependent on the educational background and special interests of the successful candidates; please refer to the job pack for more detail.

The job is offered as a full‑time post on a 10‑PA basis, but applications will be considered from those wishing to work less than full‑time. EPA’s may be available for both part‑time and full‑time positions. If full‑time, up to two EPA’s may be available to undertake additional clinical activity (only if funding approved in eCOR).

Proposals for additional SPA time from applicants are encouraged. In addition to the 1 PA for Non‑DCC/SPA activities, the board is supportive of applications for additional SPA time from individuals with well‑developed ideas for improving services who can demonstrate a commitment to quality improvement, patient safety (including human factors training), medical education, research & development, acting as an appraiser, etc. Applicants who can demonstrate a commitment to any of the above or other areas and who wish to commence on more than one PA for SPA duties should discuss proposals with the identified recruitment lead and/or service manager who will consider the request in line with the successful candidate’s professional and service requirements.

Interview Date: 17th June 2026.
