Senior Clinical Fellow in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
NHS Medical & Dental: Specialty Trainee (ST6-8)
King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s largest and busiest teaching Trusts with a turnover of c£2.1 billion, 1.5 million patient contacts a year and more than 14,000 staff based across 5 main sites in South East London. The Trust provides a full range of local hospital services across its different sites, and specialist services from King’s College Hospital (KCH) sites at Denmark Hill in Camberwell and at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) site in the London Borough of Bromley.
We encourage all our staff to have a healthy work/life balance. In doing so, you can apply for flexible working from the beginning of your employment. We offer a range of options which are designed to suit different circumstances and priorities in line with service requirements.
Job overview
The department of Women’s Health is looking to appoint a senior clinical fellow in Obstetrics and Gynaecology equivalent to ST6 or above. The post would be appropriate to a doctor looking to complete their training through the portfolio pathway or a resident who has attained their CTT in O&G and is looking to gain additional skills or experience before taking up a consultant post.
The post can be tailored to a number of specialist interests (maternal medicine, perinatal mental health, fetal medicine, benign gynaecology, termination of pregnancy, hysteroscopy, colposcopy, gynaecological scanning) and the completion of most RCOG Special Interest Training Modules (SITMs) can be supported. There will be sessions available in clinics, theatres, outpatient procedures and scanning across the full breadth of obstetrics and gynaecology. There is the opportunity for appointees of sufficient experience to be supported to step up to consultant duties with appropriate supervision in due course.
Main duties of the job
Working for our organisation
The Trust provides a full range of local and specialist services across its five sites. In June 2026, we launched our new strategy for 2026-31. Our vision is to transform healthcare, and we have agreed six strategic ambitions to help us improve care for patients, and the working lives of our staff.
Our six strategic ambitions are delivering high-quality patient care; creating a great place to work; leading pioneering research, innovation and education; building strong and successful partnerships; providing timely and efficient care; and ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
We have also agreed four new organisational values – Caring, Collaborative, Inclusive, Innovative – and these underpin everything we do, and how our teams interact with the patients under our care.
We are at a pivotal point in our history and we require individuals who are ready to join a highly professional team and make a real, lasting difference to our patients and our people.
King’s is committed to delivering Sustainable Healthcare for All via our Green Plan. In line with national Greener NHS ambitions, we have set net zero carbon targets of 2040 for our NHS Carbon Footprint and 2045 for our NHS Carbon Footprint Plus. Everyone’s contribution is required in order to meet the goals set out in our Green Plan and we encourage all staff to work responsibly, minimising their contributions to the Trust’s carbon emissions, waste and pollution wherever possible.
