Job summary
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 as resident on call for obstetrics and gynaecology at the Women and Children's Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary. The on call rotas are being reviewed with the planned consultant expansion and it is likely the on call element may change with time but the plan eventually is to provide 24/7 resident consultant on call for obstetrics with a separate consultant on call for gynaecology.
The Gynaecology Service, based at the Hull and East Yorkshire Women and Children's Hospital and Castle Hill Hospital, provides a consultant-led service for women with diseases or disorders of the reproductive system. We also provide an urogynaecology service.
A high proportion of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions are provided on a day-care basis. An Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit for complications in early pregnancy and an Emergency Gynaecology Unit is available at Hull and East Yorkshire Women and Children's Hospital. The Trust provides a medical and surgical termination of pregnancy service. We also provide MVA procedures for miscarriages and termination of pregnancy.
Main duties of the job
- Duties other than those clinical duties specified will be in accordance with the Job Plan agreed between the Appointee, the present Consultants and the Chief Executive. The Job Plan allows time for Administration, Teaching and Medical Audit.
- Participation in audit/appraisal and CME is mandatory under clinical governance/GMC guidance.
- All consultants may be required to work on any of the Trust's sites and across the seven day period where necessary.
- Secretarial support and appropriate office accommodation and IT facilities will be provided.
