Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Locum Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist
The closing date is 30 March 2026
This is a 12 month fixed term post covering Maternity leave
An opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to support and develop the Service, including Gynaecology oncology services at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is available.
If successful, will join an existing team of 15 consultants providing a comprehensive Obstetrics & Gynaecology Service to the western part of North Nottinghamshire and, in particular, the residents of Mansfield, Ashfield and Newark Districts. There will be an expectation that the post holder will contribute to a 1 in 14 on-call rota, designed to meet the requirement of 60 hours per week consultant presence on the Birthing Unit but additionally to help meet the recommendations for safe Obstetric care detailed within the Ockenden Report. An ability to provide emergency gynaecology care would be beneficial but not essential as there will be flexibility offered to the right candidate to work within a hybrid on call rota should an obstetric-only role be more appropriate to the skill set of the individual.
Main duties of the job
Additional expertise to complement the existing team of particular interest would be areas of high risk antenatal care, preterm birth prevention and risk management/governance.
* Maintenance of the highest clinical standards in the management of patients
* To share knowledge with the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department
* Teaching and training of junior staff and medical students
* To actively participate in both departmental and Trust matters concerning Clinical Governance and audit
* To have responsibility for ensuring active participation in continuing medical education (CME)
* Develop maternal medicine leadership role and service development
