NHS Lanarkshire
Consultant Obstetrician/Gynaecologist
Post 1: interest in high risk obstetrics
Post 2: interest in gyn surgery/urogynaecology
Two opportunities have arisen to work in one of the largest Women’s Health Services in Scotland. NHS Lanarkshire is seeking to recruit two skilled and dynamic consultants to join our award-winning Obstetrics and Gynaecology team. We are conveniently located in central Scotland with ready access to Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as to the Highlands of Scotland and the Borders.
The vacancies are based at University Hospital Wishaw, which provides all inpatient obstetric and gynaecological care for the population of Lanarkshire. Maternity day care services are also provided at University Hospitals Hairmyres and Monklands, and antenatal care is provided at a large number of community Health Centres throughout the county. There are approximately 4,300 deliveries per year in the Maternity Unit and you will join a team of 19 Consultants. In-patient gynaecology is based in University Hospital Wishaw with outpatient clinics, including operative hysteroscopy at both University Hospitals Hairmyres and Monklands.
The posts will have both obstetric and gynaecology components. The precise job plans will be tailored to the skills of the successful applicant.
The job is offered as a full-time post on a 10 PA basis (including up to 2 non-DCC) but applications will be considered from those wishing to work less than full-time.
The University of Glasgow enjoys close links with NHS Lanarkshire, and our medical students benefit greatly from the excellent educational opportunities provided by the board in both primary and secondary care. Those who are or who will be involved in teaching our students, or in any other activity which involves a contribution to teaching, research or scholarship within the University are eligible for honorary status at the University of Glasgow.
Honorary Status Role Holders are entitled to numerous benefits including a University of Glasgow ID card, use of the Library and other facilities, and a University IT account as required for their role. They have access to all courses run by the IT Services on the same basis as members of staff and are also permitted an educational discount when PC equipment is purchased through the IT Services.
