This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and ambitious team at the University Hospital of Wales which births over 5,400 women per year and provides tertiary fetal & Maternal medicine services for all South East Wales. We are looking for someone with an interest in service improvement that aligns with evidenced based medicine and interest in multi-professional teaching and training.
