The Women’s and Children’s Division is seeking an enthusiastic Trust Doctor (ST3 +) who wishes to pursue career in Obstetrics & Gynaecology. The Trust is committed to supporting the post holder in developing their career within the department.

NUH Obstetrics & Gynaecology are very proud to serve this diverse local community, and this is an exciting time to be part of the team.

The hospital is the site of approximately 5,800 births annually, and deals with a wide range of gynaecological pathology. The size of the O&G department is considerable, when compared to the relatively small size of the hospital, and offers exceptional training opportunities.

Presence in the hospital is required for all shifts.

The rolling rota will be provided prior to commencement of the post. A weekly rota is sent out each Friday, detailing daily duties.

The post holder will be expected to be independent in the performance of caesarean section, instrumental vaginal delivery and surgical management of miscarriage.

They are expected to attend and manage patients in the antenatal and gynaecology outpatient clinic. They are expected to attend operating lists, and manage the patients post operatively under the guidance of the consultant.
