Senior Locally Employed Doctor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

MT04

Job overview

Applicants are invited to apply for the post of Senior Clinical Fellow in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. We are seeking doctors wishing to gain more experience in general Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a level expected of an ST3+ trainee, working closely with the Consultants and multidisciplinary team. These posts have been designed so that the successful candidate will gain invaluable experience  whilst working in busy tertiary and secondary care settings.  These are 6 month contracts initially with the possiblity of extending to 12 months.

Main duties of the job

The Clinical Fellow will work on the Tier 2 on-call rota, and as such will take on the responsibilities associated with this role, which is equivalent to that of a ST3+ trainee. The Clinical Fellow will be supervised by a consultant. The Clinical Fellow will need to respect the roles of others within a multidisciplinary team and communicate with them appropriately.

The weekly timetable will vary from week to week to accommodate the rolling rota of night shifts. It may include sessions in antenatal clinic, delivery suite, gynaecology outpatients, gynaecology theatre and the emergency gynaecology assessment unit, or other specialist sessions, depending on the individual job descriptions
