Job summary
Applications are invited for the post of Senior Specialist Clinical Fellows (Senior Registrar) in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Guys and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
This is a hugely exciting opportunity for ambitious and focussed individuals looking to develop and further their careers in an outstanding organisation. Most of our fellows progress to consultant positions within the UK and abroad.
We are a leading NHS organisation both nationally and internationally, and offer PG Doctors the opportunity to develop in our range of outstanding subspecialist areas.
Main duties of the job
Our Maternity Unit delivers around 6600 women per year, with a mixture of general and specialist pathways being delivered antenatally and postnatally. We provide a comprehensive Gynaecology service, containing a dedicated Early Pregnancy and Acute Gynaecology Unit, a standalone Gynaecology Outpatient environment, and elective operating at St Thomas' and Queen Mary's Hospital Sidcup.
We have an exceptional reputation for education with protected time for teaching and consultant led educational supervision, and excellent opportunities to develop skills in all areas of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (clinical, research, educational and service improvement leadership). There is an international reputation for research and development in maternal medicine, assisted conception and prematurity.
As an organisation we are committed to developing our services in ways that best suit the needs of our patients. This means that some staff groups will increasingly be asked to work a more flexible shift pattern so that we can offer services in the evenings or at weekends.
