Job description: Have you considered how you can use your skills and expertise to advance your career in an ever-changing medical field?

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust is the best place for you to grow! You will have the chance to develop your medical skills and special interest in labour ward/maternal medicine under the guidance of an inspiring team.

We are looking for forward thinking specialists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology to join the team. You will be based on either Peterborough City Hospital or Hinchingbrooke Hospital, but there may be a need for working across sites in the future depending on the unit needs.

Located in the western part of Cambridgeshire, the historic towns of Peterborough and Huntingdon have been transformed by town development schemes bringing improvements in housing, education, and employment opportunities. Both hospital sites are accessible by road or train within easy commute distance from London, Cambridge, Leicester or Birmingham.

Peterborough and Hinchingbrooke Maternity Departments have been rated as ‘Good’ by CQC in June 2023. They have fully equipped obstetric, and midwifery led birthing units, fetal medicine scanning and high-risk obstetric services in addition to high quality modern inpatient and outpatient Gynaecology services. The Maternity IT system is K2 with all 3 modules- Antenatal, Intrapartum and Postnatal. The unit has achieved UNICEF Level 3 for Breast Feeding Initiative (BFI).

Main duties of the job

The sessional commitments consist of 10 programmed activities (PAs) for each post. This includes participation in a 1 in 9 on call rota for Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Hinchingbrooke Hospital and 1 in 13 on call rota for Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Peterborough City Hospital.

You will pursue an interest in line with service needs and an opportunity to provide leadership in General Obstetrics and Gynaecology while maintaining the highest clinical standards in the management of Obstetric patients.

In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, you will facilitate the delivery of high standard care for patients in Acute Obstetrics and Maternal medicine.

You will liaise with the management team to develop the infrastructure for the provision of the service and accept personal responsibility for the clinical care of patients.

You will attend regular departmental meetings and participate in department management and development of the service.
