We are looking to recruit a full-time Senior Specialty Dr/Post CCT clinical fellow to complete our staff of 16 Consultants, 4 Senior Specialty Drs, 17 Registrars and 16 SHOs. The post will ideally suit a senior/post CCT candidate (ST7 level and above) with intermediate/ advanced laparoscopic and open surgical skills, who wishes to develop their operative gynaecology prior to applying for a consultant post. The candidate will work alongside our local gynaecological oncology consultant, who has a full day operating list 3 weeks out of 4, undertaking a mixture of both benign and cancer cases. The Trust has 2 Da Vinci Xi robots; pre-existing robotic experience is not necessary as robotic training can be facilitated. ### Main duties of the job The candidate will be mentored by the local gynaecological oncology consultant whilst attending a full day operating list 3 weeks out of 4. The postholder will also undertake general gynaecology clinics as well as specialist clinics depending on their interest. They will support elective obstetric work where required for 2 sessions per month. The 4 Specialty Doctors work a 1 in 4 full shift rota to provide Senior Registrar cover at night, working alongside another registrar and 2 SHOs (the on-call consultant is non-resident after 2200 hrs). This is done by doing a fixed weekday night every week and a Friday-Sunday weekend set of nights every month. The post is offered on a full-time basis on a 12 PA (Programmed Activity) Specialty Doctor/ SAS contract (2021).
