The post holder is expected to apply for the RCOG ATSM/ ESGO certification and to work enthusiastically to complete it during this fellowship. The achievement of the oncology ATSM / ESGO certification milestones will be used in part to assess candidate’s progression in this post.
Main duties of the job
