“We are really excited to start recruiting for these clinical roles for the surgical hub in Dewsbury, and I would encourage anyone looking for a new challenge, working for a new team, in brand new facilities, to have a look.

The state-of-the-art elective care centre is one of several hubs opening across the country, to tackle the backlog of people waiting for surgery caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and should increase the number of operations that can be done.
