Overview
The Royal United Hospitals Bath (RUH) is looking to recruit a dedicated and forward-thinking Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist to join our Gynaecological Oncology team. This is an opportunity to be part of an energetic, innovative and cohesive department that provides comprehensive sub-specialist care in gynaecological oncology. The appointed consultant will contribute to high-quality clinical services and the continued development of our expanding oncology provision. The department supports a da Vinci robotic surgical platform for advanced minimally invasive surgery and RUH Bath hosts the only HIPEC and PIPAC programme in the South-West.
Our Obstetrics & Gynaecology department is nationally recognised for excellence in training and has recently highlighted strong TEF survey results. We are proud of the Gynaecological Oncology Sub-Specialty Training Programme and offer a collaborative multi-disciplinary environment with a dedicated specialist team.

Surgical services are supported by a dedicated anaesthetic and intensive care team. The robotic surgery programme is led by Ellen Nelissen, providing state-of-the-art minimally invasive treatment options. Complex surgical care is supported by a specialist colorectal team led by John Bunni, facilitating joint procedures including colorectal anastomosis as part of radical cytoreductive surgeries. Patients benefit from experienced Clinical Nurse Specialists throughout diagnostic, treatment and follow-up pathways. Pathological input is provided by specialist gynaecological pathologists Dr Pinias Mukonoweshuro and Dr Sarah Johnson for MDT meetings. Radiological services include CT, PET-CT and SPECT-CT for sentinel node localisation, with imaging support from a gynaecological radiology team led by Dr Kelly MacDonald.
