Consultant Obstetrician

Applications are warmly invited for a full-time Consultant role in Obstetrics to join the Obstetrics & Gynaecology Directorate at Northampton General Hospital.

As part of the Obstetrics Team you will be supported in all aspects of the role, but you will also support, coach and impart your knowledge and experience to your team. The department has close teaching and training links to the East Midland Deanery and has a number of middle grade and junior trainees working within the team.

Out of hours work will include a weekday night on call which will not be more frequent than 1 in 8 and weekend work separated into daytime consultant presence or night on call work which will not be more frequent than 1 in 10. On call work is Band A.

The department develops job plans that follow RCOG recommendations with respect to SPA allocation, admin work etc.

NGH is one of the largest employers in the area and all of our divisions are committed to doing things better, with more efficiency as we update, modernise, and advance. We have also entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Being a large DGH with a proud history, we are big enough to get interesting cases, but small enough to care, coach and develop. With over 200 consultants, a similar number of trainees and approximately 60medical undergraduates throughout the year, NGH provides comprehensive care and extensive training opportunities.

With this in mind, we have built a state of the art emergency assessment unit (Nye Bevan building) and are developing new ways of working to streamline in-patient care and optimize working with our partners.

NGH also has a large library, gym with swimming pool, and a brand new entrance with Marks and Spencer, Subway and Costa on site.
