About the role

This post offers the successful applicant the opportunity to practice Gynaecology at MFT, with a primary focus on Reproductive Medicine at a tertiary level. We are especially interested to hear from clinicians who have an interest in recurrent miscarriage, gynaecology endocrine, male fertility and DSD. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with Subspecialty Accreditation in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery (or equivalent) to join our team and develop our service. Great care has been taken to ensure that there is appropriate access to professional development opportunities. Previous experience at Consultant level is desirable but not essential. The healthcare landscape in Manchester is evolving and the SMH MCS is one of the biggest providers of gynaecological care in the UK. This post offers the successful applicant the opportunity to join an established NHS Reproductive Medicine team who are highly motivated to deliver expert care to the women of greater Manchester and beyond. The successful applicant will join an emergency gynaecology on call rota (I in 11) which provides care at Wythenshawe and ORC sites as well as delivering elective outpatient and inpatient care to men and women with fertility problems. The successful applicant will work across the sites of the SMH MCS.
