Job description

A vacancy at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Applications are invited for the post of Special Interest Obstetrics and Gynaecology Fellow - Genomic Gynae Oncology Fellow. This post is available for an initial period of 12 months, with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement.

This position offers a valuable opportunity for O and G doctors at ST4+ level, ideally at ST6-7, to train in the rapidly advancing field of genomics while working in one of the largest and busiest trusts in the country.

The training will focus on genetics and genomics, particularly related to gynaecological oncology. It will be delivered through a combined approach within the gynaecology oncology department and the clinical genetics department, including sessions in both areas.

Training will include Gynaecology Oncology MDT work, integrating genomics/genetics into cancer planning and care, management and prophylactic surgery for gene carriers, and participation in genetic testing and counselling. There will also be opportunities to engage in research programs.

The Maternity and Gynaecology department encompasses all hospital and community-based obstetrics, gynaecology, and midwifery services, with contributions from 44 consultants, including obstetricians, gynaecologists, and combined obstetrician-gynaecologists.

The hospital services are split between the City Hospital and Queen’s Medical Centre, both equipped with labour suites, neonatal units, obstetric anaesthetic services, and inpatient/outpatient obstetric services. There is a 24-hour junior doctor presence, regional fetal medicine referrals, and dedicated maternal medicine clinics. The department has a strong research presence, leading national and international clinical trials.

It is a requirement for this post to participate in the 1 in 9 out-of-hours resident rota. Depending on experience, on-call duties will be at Registrar (ST4-5, Tier 2) or Senior Registrar level (Tier 3). There are two tiers of registrars on each site, with a separate rota for emergency gynaecology at Queen’s campus.
