Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist (High-Risk Antenatal Care)
Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
We are currently seeking to recruit a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with a specialist interest in high-risk antenatal care to join the Women and Children's Division at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Main Duties of the Job
This is a substantive consultant post, and the appointee will join an existing team of 14 consultants providing a comprehensive Obstetrics & Gynaecology Service to the western part of North Nottinghamshire, particularly the residents of Mansfield, Ashfield, and Newark Districts. There will be an expectation that the post holder will contribute to a 1 in 12 Obstetrics and Gynaecology on-call rota, designed to meet the requirement of 60 hours per week consultant presence on the Birthing Unit, while also helping to meet the recommendations for safe Obstetric care detailed within the Ockenden Report. An ability to provide emergency gynaecology care is required; however, there is an opportunity for supporting the successful candidate to gain confidence in gynaecology operating as required.
The main responsibilities of the post will be to further develop and support the provision of excellent antenatal care, particularly in the maternal medicine setting. Additional expertise to complement the existing team, particularly in areas of high-risk antenatal care, would be of interest.
