The Obstetrics Department at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital would like to invite candidates to apply for a full-time Obstetrics and Gynaecology Consultant post.

This post will include sessions on labour ward including obstetric on call, antenatal clinics, gynaecology outpatient clinics and gynaecology operating lists. Wide experience in Obstetrics and Gynaecology including labour ward management and independent Gynaecology operating will be required.

An ATSM in Benign Gynaecology or equivalent is necessary for this post.

Successful candidates will join a strong team of 23 Consultant Obstetricians, Gynaecologists and academic staff.

You will be fully supported by a thriving and friendly department and will be encouraged to take forward service and academic development.

Full registration with a licence to practise with the GMC is required. (licence to practise must be in place prior to starting in post). For more information visit www.gmc-uk.org

Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register from date of interview.

CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) or Portfolio Pathway route doctors are only eligible to apply for a substantive Consultant post once CESR or Portfolio Pathway specialist registration is awarded. Those with an International Recognised Specialist Qualification approved by GMC should have a confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register.

Applications from doctors with appropriate specialist training and experience who are not listed on the GMC Specialist Register can be considered for a Locum Consultant post (up to 12 months) if no substantive Consultant appointment is made. Whilst in locum employment, an application to obtain a CESR or Portfolio Pathway Specialist Registration can be made to the GMC.
