An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Fixed Term Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Barnet Hospital with a special interest in high-risk obstetrics, pre-term birth and high risk ELCS lists. The post is for 12 months
The successful candidate will join a strong group of 22 Consultants and will be expected to participate in the day-time Obstetrics and Gynaecology rota. The on-call commitment will be 1 in 4 out of hours on weekdays and 1 in 8 weekends. The Labour ward has on-site Consultant cover for 98 hours (8.00 a.m. -10.30 p.m. weekdays and 8.00 a.m. to 8.45 p.m. on weekends). The weekend on-call is split working i.e. Friday and Sunday or Saturday. An additional weekend ward round cover will also be required of the candidate which will be shared with the team.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, experienced colleague to join our obstetrics and gynaecology services on our Barnet and Chase Farm sites. The post will have sessions in both obstetrics and gynaecology.
The Barnet site has approximately 5600 deliveries per annum alongside a level II NNU unit and caters for a diverse high-risk population. Our intra-partum outcomes are within the top centile for the region and we are looking for an individual to help us maintain this high standard. Our co-located midwifery led unit (Barnet Birth Centre – BBC) delivers 20-25% of our births and has been highly commended.
Acute and outpatient gynaecological services are delivered at our Barnet site and elective and outpatient gynaecological services are delivered at our new state of the art Chase Farm site.
The successful candidate will be supported by a multi-disciplinary team of obstetricians, specialist midwives, specialist nurses and allied health professionals. The candidate should be keen to work as part of a team, and develop good relationships with other staff within and outside of the department.
The appointee will be expected to stay within 30 minutes travelling time from the hospital when on call.
