About this role
Job summary
Consultant Obstetrics & Gynaecology (with a special interest in High Risk pregnancies and Resident on Call)
This post has arisen due to consultant expansion in the department. The post will enable us to maintain an adequate level of gynaecology activity against the background of a need for consultant cover of the labour ward and adequate supervision of the junior doctors required with the current curriculum. The post holder will be required to work in a hybrid rota including resident on call for obstetrics and gynaecology at the Women and Children's Hospital
The on-call rotas are being reviewed with the planned consultant expansion, and it is highly likely the on-call element would change with further proposed expansion. The post holder will participate in the resident consultant on-call rota for Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Women and Children's Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary. Consultant expansion is underway, and the on-call model is evolving towards a sustainable structure with dedicated resident obstetric consultant cover supported by separate consultant on-call provision for gynaecology.
The post holder will be expected to contribute towards supporting specialist services including High-risk Pregnancy care, maternal medicine, preterm birth prevention clinics and appropriate SITM training would be desirable to be able to contribute to these.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will be actively involved in teaching, training, clinical governance, and service development. This includes supervision of junior medical staff, contribution to departmental education programmes, and opportunities to engage in research and academic collaboration through established links with Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull, and Health Education England Yorkshire and Humber.
The posts will be based at the Women's and Children's Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary, but the post holder will be expected to provide services across both main hospital sites as required. The post holder may also be required to contribute to the Termination of Pregnancy service if they do not have a conscientious objection to providing this service.
