The curriculum is based around problem based learning and has been highly ranked by our graduates in how they felt prepared for postgraduate medicine.

Main duties of the job

Duties of the post will include the care of inpatients and outpatients alongside teaching medical students and the MDT. The role will also include labour ward and gynaecology sessions to maintain your own training standard.
