The general obstetric commitments include both routine and emergency obstetrics and non-resident on call (for obstetrics only).The key clinical requirements of the post are to provide consultant labour suite cover, elective caesarean lists, ward rounds, maternity triage, assessment unit cover and antenatal clinics. 

 

The successful candidate will be joining our multi-disciplinary diabetes in pregnancy service, with a weekly clinic and regular MDT meetings.

 

We have a two- tier gynaecology on-call consultant rota, one consultant is rostered to cover emergency gynaecology at the QMC campus, the other consultant is on-call for complex surgery, which includes oncology at City and maternity on both campuses, in the event that a gynaecologist is required to support the obstetric team.

 

Please see the job plan for a description of the clinical sessions. The balance of activities will be as described, but the scheduling may be amended, after discussion, prior to commencement of the post.
