There may be the opportunity for candidates to apply for longer-term posts arising from this service development, including potential 12-months appointments.
Main duties of the job
These posts offer an excellent opportunity to gain broad experience in both obstetrics and gynaecology within a busy tertiary unit.

There will be opportunities to gain experience across the breadth of general obstetrics and gynaecology in a major teaching hospital environment.
