Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist
We are seeking a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with a special interest in Early Pregnancy and Acute Gynaecology to join our team at WWL.
The post holder should have good background knowledge and skills in obstetrics and gynaecology in order to contribute to the provision of both Obstetric and Gynaecological services.
Clinical duties
Day time labour ward cover.
All consultants will take part in a 1 in 12 rota of hot week cover, in which one week (Monday to Friday 09:00 to 19:00) is devoted solely to labour ward and emergency gynaecology cover with all other duties cancelled in that week. These sessions involve prospective cover and must be swapped if they fall during a week in which holiday is taken.
Antenatal clinics
Each of the general antenatal clinics is shared between 2 or 3 Consultants and the special interest antenatal clinics are shared between 2 consultants in order to provide continuity of care during periods of absence for on call duties or leave.
General gynaecology and special interest clinics
The post holder is required to cover General gynaecology clinics. In addition, the post holder will be required to cover EPAU sessions and Menstrual disorder clinics (one stop hysteroscopy clinics). Colposcopy clinics are available to the post holder should they be able to demonstrate appropriate skills.
Theatre
The theatre allocations are currently being reviewed for all consultants depending on demand and requirements for access.
SPA Time
In addition to personal CPD, it is anticipated that the appointee will use SPA time to support the clinical governance framework within the department as well as to develop skills complementary to the needs of the department with mentoring/support as necessary from an existing consultant.
