Job description

Applications are invited for the post of Special Interest Obstetrics and Gynaecology Fellow - Genomic Gynae Oncology. 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 within one of the largest and busiest trusts in the country.

Our aim is to provide training in genetics and genomics, with a focus on gynaecological oncology. The training will be delivered through a combined approach involving the gynaecology oncology department and the clinical genetics department, including sessions in both areas.

Training will cover Gynaecology Oncology MDT work and how genomics/genetics integrates into cancer planning and care. Additionally, training will include management and prophylactic surgery for gene carriers. The successful candidate will participate in mainstream genetic testing, receive training in genetic counselling, and have opportunities to engage in research programmes.

The Maternity and Gynaecology department encompasses all hospital and community-based obstetrics, gynaecology, and midwifery services. The department includes 44 consultants: 18 obstetric, 18 gynaecologists, and 8 combined obstetrician and gynaecologists.

Services are split between the City Hospital and Queen’s Medical Centre sites, both equipped with labour suites linked to level 3 Neonatal Units, dedicated obstetric anaesthetic services, and inpatient and outpatient obstetric care. There is a 24-hour junior doctor presence across both sites. Our fetal medicine centre accepts regional referrals and operates across both locations. The department also offers a dedicated maternal medicine service with multidisciplinary clinics, including obstetric haematology, renal, and medical specialties. The department has a strong research focus, contributing to and leading national and international clinical trials.
