Locum Consultant in Minimally Invasive Gynaecology

This is a locum consultant post with existing funding available for a substantive post should the right candidate be a good cultural fit for the Trust and our team. The post-holder joins the minimally invasive surgery and endometriosis team, supporting our BSGE accredited endometriosis service and the wider obstetrics and gynaecology service. We are an innovate, dynamic and forward thinking group who are at the vanguard of the international change towards robotic-assisted surgery, in which we are national leaders. Two existing surgeons are international proctors in robotic surgery. The sector preceptor for training in advanced laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery is in our group. We perform all complex benign and endometriosis surgery robotically. Should a suitably qualified laparoscopic surgeon apply, she or he would be trained to transfer to robotic-assisted surgery. We have a demonstrated track record in training fellows in robotic surgery; one in-house trained fellow is now a consultant colleague in the group.

The appointee will have responsibility for the endometriosis and complex benign gynaecology patients, gynaecology operating, gynaecology scan clinics each week and weekly gynaecology MDT. The expectation is that the successful candidate will join the service and develop it with the group in our quest towards national excellence. The post-holder will be expected to deliver exceptional care to patients within the minimally invasive surgery service. The successful candidate will have responsibility to provide a high-quality service, in conjunction with consultant colleagues already in post and our team of fellows. It would be expected that the consultant offers continuous responsibility for the care of patients named under their team. Research, audit and continuous governance are a key feature of our group, and the successful candidate will be a core part of this.
