About the role

The successful candidate will join a cohesive team of 25 consultants delivering services across three acute hospital sites within Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.

Consultants typically contribute to both obstetrics and gynaecology rotas, with a 1:22 obstetric rota providing 24-hour cover and a 1:21 gynaecology rota structured as a hot week. The successful candidate will participate in the obstetric on-call rota. The Directorate delivers a comprehensive range of obstetric and gynaecology services. Gynaecology includes sub-specialties such as general gynaecology, urogynaecology (including pelvic floor and PFAP clinics), endometriosis and pelvic pain services, colposcopy, gynaecological oncology, menopause and endocrine services, infertility, paediatric and adolescent gynaecology, and ambulatory care including EPAU, EGAU and outpatient hysteroscopy. Obstetric services include fetal medicine (including multiple pregnancy care), maternal medicine, high-risk obstetrics, perinatal care, and OASIS services. Interested candidates are invited to contact Laura Veal - lveal@nhs.net to discuss the opportunity.
