Job summary
This post has arisen due to consultant replacement 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 safe and sustainable levels of resident consultant on call for obstetrics with a separate consultant on call for gynaecology.
The post holder will be expected to be actively involved with teaching. The posts will be based at the Women's and Children's Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary, but the post holder will be expected to provide services across both main hospital sites as required.
Main duties of the job
A standard full time Job Plan will contain 10 programmed activities (PAs) comprising 8 PAs for direct clinical care (DCC) and 2 for supporting activities (SPAs). 1.5 SPAs are classed as 'core' and cover time for training, teaching, CPD, audit, appraisal, clinical governance and attendance at service meetings. There are opportunities to participate in undergraduate teaching within the HYMS medical school curriculum. Additional SPA time can be allocated for research, clinical management and educational supervisor (ES) activity. It is envisaged that this post would include the educational supervision of at least one trainee per year who could be from any level of training from FY1 to speciality registrar. It is expected that the appointee will have completed ES training or complete this within a short time of taking up the post. All new appointees will be encouraged to develop their management skills by taking on a management role which could include assisting more senior colleagues with the organisation of educational activities, College Tutor, audit lead, junior doctor management, recruitment etc. Personal preferences can be considered, and training will be given for the chosen role. Additional PA time is negotiable for more senior management, research or educational roles within the department.
