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, you will join an existing team of 15 consultants providing a comprehensive Obstetrics & Gynaecology Service to the western part of North Nottinghamshire, particularly serving Mansfield, Ashfield, and Newark Districts. The role involves contributing to a 1 in 14 on-call rota, designed to meet the requirement of 60 hours per week of consultant presence on the Birthing Unit, and to help meet the recommendations for safe obstetric care as detailed in the Ockenden Report. An ability to provide emergency gynaecology care would be beneficial but is not essential, as there will be flexibility to work within a hybrid on-call rota if an obstetric-only role better suits the candidate's skill set.
Additional expertise that would complement the existing team, such as high-risk antenatal care, preterm birth prevention, and risk management/governance, would be of particular interest.
1. Maintain the highest clinical standards in patient management.
2. Share knowledge within the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department.
3. Teach and train junior staff and medical students.
4. Participate actively in departmental and Trust matters concerning Clinical Governance and audit.
5. Ensure active participation in continuing medical education (CME).
6. Develop maternal medicine leadership and service development roles.
We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust providing acute and community healthcare services for 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. We work closely with partners in health and social care through the Mid Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Partnership to manage resources, deliver NHS standards, and improve the health of the populations we serve.
Our organization puts the patient at the center of everything we do, aiming to ensure every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. We expect our staff to be caring, kind, courteous, and to look out for each other. We believe we are a truly clinically led organization.
In the past four years, our staff engagement scores have been the best among Acute Trusts in the Midlands. We would love you to join us.
