# Consultant – Orthopaedics Surgery – NMC Healthcare

NMC Healthcare is hiring a Consultant in Orthopaedic Surgery for Abu Dhabi. NMC Healthcare, which describes itself as one of the UAE’s most established private healthcare providers with a history of more than 50 years in the country, operates hospitals and specialty centres across the UAE, and orthopaedics is a core service for any multispecialty hospital serving a growing population of families, working professionals and older residents.

As a consultant, you will lead the diagnosis, surgical and non-surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. That typically covers trauma such as fractures and dislocations, sports injuries, degenerative joint disease, back and spine complaints, and elective procedures such as arthroscopy and joint replacement, depending on your subspecialty interests and the facility’s capabilities. You will run outpatient clinics, perform surgery, oversee inpatient care and take part in on-call rotas for trauma cover.

The posting references emergency and resuscitation certifications such as ATLS, which reflects the trauma side of the role. As a senior clinician, you will also be expected to supervise and teach junior doctors, contribute to departmental audits and morbidity reviews, and work closely with physiotherapy, anaesthesia, nursing and theatre teams to deliver safe, coordinated care from first consultation to rehabilitation.

NMC requires a basic medical degree, completion of higher specialist training, and consultant-level experience in a Tier 1 country as defined by the UAE healthcare regulator. The role suits an experienced orthopaedic surgeon with sound surgical judgement, strong outcomes, and the leadership skills to help develop the service.

## Requirements

- Basic medical degree (MBBS or equivalent) and completion of higher specialist training in Orthopaedic Surgery (e.g. FRCS (Tr and Orth), board certification or equivalent)

- Consultant-level experience gained in a Tier 1 country, as defined by the UAE healthcare regulator

- Eligibility for a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon licence with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DOH)

- Broad experience in orthopaedic trauma and elective surgery; subspecialty expertise (arthroplasty, sports, spine, hand or paediatrics) is an advantage

- Current ATLS certification, along with BLS and other life support certifications as required

- Experience supervising and teaching junior doctors

- Track record of good surgical outcomes and participation in audit and clinical governance

- Strong communication skills with patients, families and multidisciplinary teams

- Willingness to participate in on-call trauma rotas
