This is an exciting opportunity for a substantive Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynaecology with a special interest in high risk Obstetrics.
We are looking for an outstanding colleague who will complement and enhance our obstetric and gynaecology services. The successful candidate will be expected to provide leadership in the high risk obstetric service, including multiple pregnancy, small for gestational age and developing specific rainbow clinics to support women who have previous poor obstetric histories and possess competencies in obstetric scanning.
This is an exciting time to join the Countess within the Women and Children’s Division as we look to move into our new state of the art purpose-built facility in the Summer of 2025.
Additional responsibilities within Obstetrics will include leading a high risk antenatal clinic and a pre and post pregnancy counselling service along with the other Consultants with an interest in high risk pregnancies as well as development in areas of Obstetric interest depending on the candidates skills and departmental needs.
It is also expected that the successful candidate would take an active role in the various local, regional and national quality and safety agendas.
The post could include an optional gynaecology component dependent on the skills of the successful candidate and in line with the department’s requirements. This would most likely be ambulatory/outpatient gynaecology or emergency gynaecology. Support for the on call gynaecology component of the role could be available where required.
We ask all employees to be flexible in their role, to always ensure we are delivering Safe, Kind and Effective care.
The successful applicant will be expected to participate in the non-resident 3rd on call rota, which is currently 1 in 12.
Although this job is suitable for a general Obstetrics and Gynaecology consultant, we are keen to prioritise someone with a high risk obstetrics interest, with obstetric scanning competencies.
