Trosolwg o'r swydd

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are looking to recruit a part-time (6PAs) Speciality Dr to work within our Mother and Baby Unit in Chester.

This post is to work on a new Mother and Baby Unit, a specialist provision for women with mental health problems during pregnancy and/or in the year after their baby is born. Patients in the postnatal period will have their babies with them during their time as an inpatient on the Mother and Baby Unit. The Mother and Baby Unit will be an 8 bedded unit with 6 beds commissioned by NHS England for the women of Cheshire and Merseyside and 2 beds commissioned by NHS Wales for the women of North Wales. The Mother and Baby Unit will also accept referrals for out of area women when there are beds available.

 The post is offered on a basis of 3 days a week (6 PAs), 9am – 5pm.  The successful applicant must have full registration with the GMC and continue to hold a License to Practice.
