The successful candidate should be at a training level of ST5-ST8 in obstetrics and gynaecology and hold a National Training Number.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will work closely with the consultants and the clinical teams and have the opportunity to gain invaluable experience and training whilst working in a busy tertiary referral centre. The doctor will have an academic supervisor who will support the research component, and an educational supervisor to support clinical components of the post and assist in meeting the individual’s training and career goals including appraisal.

The successful trainee should be at a training level of ST5+ in obstetrics and gynaecology, and is expected to take on responsibilities associated with this role. The clinical fellow will need to respect the roles of others within the MDT and be able to communicate with them appropriately.
