The Obstetrics Department at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital would like to invite candidates to apply for a full-time Obstetrics Consultant post.
This post will include sessions on Labour ward including Obstetric on call and Antenatal clinics. Candidates should have experience and an interest in maternal medicine including the diabetic management of pregnant patients. This post is designed to allow flexibility in the proposed job plan and existing colleagues are willing to negotiate areas of responsibility to fulfil overall service needs and attempt to ensure individuals can pursue their particular special interest areas. There are also formal departmental teaching and training responsibilities for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate trainees included in this post.
The Unit is the designated tertiary referral unit for the North East of Scotland and provides a full range of Obstetric and Gynaecological services. The unit has responsibility for approximately 6000 deliveries and 9000 gynaecology admissions per annum.
Successful candidates will join a strong team of 23 Consultant Obstetricians, Gynaecologists and academic staff.
You will be fully supported by a thriving and friendly department and will be encouraged to take forward service and academic development.
Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register from date of interview.
Alternatively, applicants should possess a CESR / CESR (CP).
Applications from doctors with appropriate specialist training and experience who are not listed on the GMC Specialist Register can be considered for a Locum Consultant post, where applicable (up to 12 months only), if no substantive Consultant appointment is made. Whilst in locum employment, an application to obtain a CESR / CESR (CP) and entry onto the Specialist Register can be made.
Full registration with a licence to practise with the GMC is required. For more information visit www.gmc-uk.org.
Essential qualifications for this post include MRCOG or equivalent.
