Resident in Equine Internal Medicine – Grade 6

This 3-year residency programme is supported by and based in the Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital (PLEH) at the University of Liverpool’s Leahurst Campus on The Wirral. The PLEH is a large, well-equipped hospital that is able to diagnose and treat a variety of equine disorders to a high standard.

The Hospital has a large (approx. 1,500 cases per year) and diverse caseload of both elective and emergency cases. You will be appointed primarily to support clinical academic activities while you will concurrently receive a broad training in equine medicine leading to eligibility to sit the ECEIM diploma in equine medicine at a later date.

Your role within the PLEH is to support clinical activities, rotation teaching, and research, as well as CPD/Postgraduate education when required. You will be involved in the daily small group teaching of fourth and final year veterinary undergraduates during clinical rotations.

You will be involved in the initial evaluation and diagnostic work-up of cases, both during normal working hours and as a participant in the out-of-hours rota. You will be expected to undertake research projects, from conception to delivering output, working collaboratively with colleagues.

You should hold RCVS membership to practice in the UK by the time you start in the role.

The post is available for 3 years.

The preferred start date is 1 April 2026.
