Main duties of the job
This post is developed to complement the existing consultants, expand and strengthen the skilled workforce, and meet the sustained growth of gynaecological service demands and gynaecological cancer NHS targets.

This post will help increase capacity of gynaecological cancer services across outpatients, procedures and theatres, reducing waiting times and clinical risk.
The post-holder will be joining a dynamic and dedicated team of gynaecologists, which is committed to delivering excellent service for women. They will cover operating lists, outpatient clinics and gynaecology on-call rota at the frequency agreed by the directorate.

They will also have the opportunity to carry out clinical research and medical education through our strong links with the University of Birmingham and the University of Aston.
