Overview
Consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecology - Join Our Mission to Transform Women's Healthcare
Are you nearing CCT or a newly qualified Consultant looking for your first posting, or an experienced Consultant seeking a change? We seek individuals who thrive on challenge and view health inequalities as lives to transform, aligning with our values of Kind, Connected, Bold, and a drive to improve patient experience.
Our Board has approved 10 newly created, fully funded consultant posts as part of a strategic investment in transformation. We face pressures typical of Obstetrics and Gynaecology services, with added complexity from serving communities experiencing health inequalities. We are on the Maternity Safety Support Programme and addressing backlogs within our Gynaecology service, working under significant pressure while addressing cultural challenges that require strong leadership.
We are seeking consultants who want to help build our future by creating an integrated, supportive team that redefines collaborative care and improves care for our community. The expansion focuses on Fetal Medicine, Urogynaecology, Menopause, Maternal Medicine, Cancer pathways & Vulval disease, Colposcopy/Hysteroscopy, and General O&G care. Interview dates: 30 September and 1 October 2025.
