Las in Obstetrics

We are currently looking to appoint to two vacancies in the Obstetrics & Gynaecology team. The appointments are to commence in August 2024 for a period of 12 months. The posts do not award a National Training Number. As these posts are not recognised as ‘training posts’, full registration with the GMC with a licence to practise is required, and if the appointee does not hold right of residence in the UK sponsorship will be required. The duties of these posts are equivalent to FY2/ST1 level.

A typical working week will consist of a combination of the below duties:
Ø Obstetric on call and ward duties

Ø Gynaecology on call and ward duties

Ø Development

Ø Postgraduate Teaching
