About the role
Applications are invited for a new, substantive Consultant in Feto-Maternal medicine to increase expertise in Fetal Medicine, high risk obstetrics & intrapartum management within the Trust and to provide leadership and innovation within the Perinatal Directorate. All maternity services are provided at MMUH, delivering approximately 5000 women per year, where there is a large level 2+ NNU and full capability to provide HDU and ITU care to our mothers. There is a nationally recognized co-located midwifery-led birthing unit. The Fetal Medicine Unit was newly developed and equipped in 2010 and provides a full range of FM diagnostic and screening services. The service is a designated Level 2 FM Unit within the West Midlands and receives referrals from local units within Black Country & West Birmingham LMNS. The unit has well established links to allied regional services including the WM tertiary referral FMU, Regional Clinical Genetics and Fetal/Paediatric cardiology services and Birmingham Children's hospital. Antenatal care is based on a specialist multidisciplinary clinic model with clinics being staffed by dual consultants. Consultants also work with specialist midwives and community midwifery leads in teams where this promotes better access to and contact with hard-to-reach groups to ensure equal access to high quality obstetric care.
