Job overview

Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynaecology (special interest in Uro-Gynaecology)

Full time - 10 PA substantive post

Based at Barnet Hospital

Main duties of the job

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology with a special interest in Uro-Gynaecology at Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals.

 The successful candidate will join a strong group of 20 Consultants at the department.  The job plan will be discussed in detail at the point of appointment to allow flexibility based on their competencies and service needs.  The successful candidate will be expected to participate in the day-time Obstetrics and Gynaecology rota. The on-call commitment will be 1 in 16 out of hours on weekdays and 1 in 16 weekends. The Labour ward has on-site Consultant cover for 98 hours (8.00 a.m. -10.30 p.m. weekdays and 8.00 a.m. to 8.45 p.m. on weekends). The weekend on-call is split working i.e. Friday and Sunday or Saturday. An additional weekend ward round cover will also be required of the candidate which will be shared with the team.

Working for our organisation

We are particularly looking to appoint an enthusiastic, experienced colleague with a special interest in Uro-Gynaecology (at least several years in the sub-specialty) to join our obstetrics and gynaecology services on our Barnet and Chase Farm sites.  The Candidate must have proven hands-on experience in uro-gynaecology surgical skills (be able to perform independently pelvic floor repair, vaginal hysterectomy, incontinence procedures etc) and expertise and expected to hit the ground running.

The successful candidate will have regular paediatric gynaecology clinics.

Colposcopy and/or OPH experience will be highly desirable

The Barnet site has approximately 5600 deliveries per annum alongside a level II NNU unit and caters for a diverse high-risk population. Our intra-partum outcomes are within the top centile for the region and we are looking for an individual to help us maintain this high standard.  Our co-located midwifery led unit (Barnet Birth Centre – BBC) delivers 20-25% of our births and has been highly commended. The successful candidate will run  high-risk obstetric clinics, including debrief clinics.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Acute and outpatient gynaecological services are delivered at our Barnet site and elective and outpatient gynaecological services are delivered at our new state of the art Chase Farm site.

The successful candidate will be supported by a multi-disciplinary team of gynaecologists, specialist nurses and allied health professionals.  The candidate should be keen to work as part of a team and develop good relationships with other staff within and outside of the department.

The candidate will have an interest in medical education and will be required to provide dedicated medical student teaching sessions. They will also be required to assist in progressing plans to develop the 4th site for clinical medical training of UCH medical students, in terms of infrastructure and support, governance and placements. They will report to the Departmental Undergraduate Lead in the first instance but may also be required to provide assistance to the Site Undergraduate Tutor and the UCLMS Sub Dean.

The appointee will be expected to stay within 30 minutes travelling time from the hospital when on call.
