Cornwall has miles of stunning coastline, with some of the best beaches and is famous for being the surfing haven in the UK. From wide and sandy with clear turquoise waters to rival those in the Caribbean, to the steep-cliffed, boulder-strewn with wild Atlantic waves crashing, there's every kind of beach going. The atmosphere and lifestyle of Cornwall makes it a great place to live and work.
Come and work for the operating department at Royal Cornwall Hospital in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Why wouldn't you!
