Consultant O&G With An Interest In Urogynaecology

Clinical duties Day time labour ward cover. All consultants will take part in a 1 in 11 rota of labour ward cover in which one week is devoted solely to labour ward and emergency gynaecology cover with all other duties cancelled in that week. Antenatal clinics Each of the general antenatal clinics is shared between 2 or 3 Consultants and the special interest antenatal clinics are shared between 2 consultants in order to provide continuity of care during periods of absence for on call duties or leave. General gynaecology and special interest clinics The post holder is required to cover General gynaecology clinics. Menstrual disorder and adolescent gynae clinics are available to the post holder should they be able to demonstrate appropriate skills. Theatre The theatre allocations are currently being reviewed for all consultants depending on demand and requirements for access. SPA Time In addition to personal CPD, it is anticipated that the appointee will use SPA time to support the clinical governance frame work within the department as well as to develop skills complementary to the needs of the department with mentoring/support as necessary from an existing consultant. On call rota All consultants are non-resident with a middle grade obstetrician on site supported by one junior doctor (Foundation year 2 or ST1/2) on a 1 in 10 rota. There will be prospective cover for out of hours duties and labour ward cover with a requirement to swap these duties with another consultant if they fall in weeks when holiday is planned.
