The Directorate provides services across 3 hospital sites within the county of Worcestershire. The candidate will benefit from working within a friendly and experienced team.
As a Trust we have been actively involved in developing the training program for students from the Three Counties Medical School based in Worcester which opened in September 2023. We also have a long-established role in training medical students from the University of Birmingham and undergraduates from the University of Warwick.
Interested candidates are invited to contact Miss Laura Veal to discuss the opportunity.
This appointment is for a 6 month Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist.
It would be beneficial if the successful applicant was able to offer skills in both Obstetrics and Gynaecology and advanced labour ward skills are essential. The applicant should have the appropriate training and experience to fulfil the requirements of this post and be on the Specialist Register.
Applicants should have evidence of advanced training and experience in Obstetrics and/or Gynaecology including 2 ATSMs or Subspecialty training. Previous experience at Consultant level would be beneficial.
The post holder may run joint clinics/theatre sessions with another consultant colleague in the same area of special interest.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
This post comprises 10 Programmed activities: 8 direct clinical care and 2 supporting professional activities.
The successful applicant will be asked to participate on the Obstetric on-call rota.
By working in teams of consultants, the operational principle that we aim to achieve is for another consultant to re-use patient contact sessions that would otherwise be cancelled or remain uncovered due to leave or other agreed reasons for absence.
The successful candidate must have extensive experience in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Applicants should possess the MRCOG or equivalent and Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) or equivalent and be on the GMC Specialist Register.
