Our dedicated Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department are looking for the perfect candidate to join us as a Senior Clinical Fellow.

Within your role, you will ensure the continued delivery of high-quality Obstetric and Gynaecological care to patients within the Trust and community and contribute to the further development of the service.

There may be an occasional requirement to complement the existing general Gynaecology and Obstetrics services and an opportunity to take on extra clinics or theatres. You will be expected to join the on call team on a rota basis.

The appointed Senior Clinical Fellow would be expected to contribute to the ongoing service improvement programme developing:

• Our Maternity Culture Transformation programme
• Implementing evidence based new ways of working when necessary.

Please note this is a fixed term vacancy.

• Working collaboratively with nursing and midwifery colleagues, lead service developments across all O&G services, in line with the Better Births Review and ensuring that learning from reports such as Kirkup and Ockenden are embedded in practice.
• To provide an on-call commitment for Central Delivery Suite and emergency Gynaecology cover as 1:10 on call. The post holder will be expected to be contactable and able to reach the hospital when needed within 30 minutes.
• To ensure services are delivered effectively and within budget regarding the Trusts' waiting times standards.
• To liaise closely with other departments and outside agencies in contributing to the objectives of our services.
