We have well-developed services in high-risk obstetrics, minimal access surgery, infertility, colposcopy & out-patient hysteroscopy, uro-gynaecology and oncology services. These posts are substantive positions created to support an expansion in consultant numbers. Both posts will include both Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The department is currently strengthening its Obstetric and Gynaecology leadership and specialist roles and is keen to consider applicants with a variety of interests. This role is located at Kettering General Hospital and all work will be completed on site or at peripheral clinics. The candidate should be keen to work as part of a team, continuing to develop good relationships with other staff within and outside the Clinical Management Team. The appointee will be expected to live within 30 minutes travelling time from the hospital. ### Main duties of the job There is ongoing considerable site development at Kettering General Hospital. The theatre suite for Obstetrics & Gynaecology underwent redevelopment in February 2016. Building work is in the early stages for the new Rockingham Wing which will provide new facilities for Obstetric and Gynaecology services. There is a thriving and well-equipped Post Graduate Education centre including a new, large, modern library, seminar rooms, and lecture theatre. ANTENATAL SCREENING We offer a full range of prenatal screening services including early dating scans, Nuchal Translucency and biochemical screening. We offer CVS as well as Amniocentesis. The Fetal Medicine Service is supported by Consultants from University Hospital of Leicester (attending 2 clinics per week). A Consultant Clinical Geneticist who covers the county supports the genetic services. There are on site prenatal counselling facilities with a specialist midwife and the service is offered to all women as part of their routine antenatal care. THEATRES There are two large and fully equipped state of the art theatres opened in February 2016. One is for routine gynaecology and the second theatre for Obstetrics. A third theatre is used for emergencies for obstetrics and gynaecology. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities Clinical Commitment Shifting of clinical commitment from junior doctors to nursing staff has been developed actively in Kettering to allow more time for training and adaptability as further changes are imposed on us by reduction of Junior Doctors’ hours. We have specialist nurses in Gynae Oncology, Infertility, Termination of Pregnancy and Prenatal Diagnosis who all contribute to running the department. Please see attached JD for further information. ### Applicant requirements You must have appropriate UK professional registration.
