Description

Gynaecology commitments would include a general gynaecology clinic and endometriosis clinic with a dedicated session of MDT. A weekly operating list is included in the job plan and where necessary support for operating development provided. Gynaecology Hot Week is covered as a 1 in 12.

Although, this job is dedicated to endometriosis, an obstetric commitment could be accommodated especially in the field of complex Caesarean sections.

Any desires for particular involvement in an obstetric clinic and labour ward can be negotiated.

Emergency (out of hour) commitments covers gynaecology (currently a 1 in 10 rota but under review). An out of hours obstetric commitment can be negotiated. Out of hours work is split with separate consultants on call for obstetrics or gynaecology.

Gynaecology consultants provide emergency and elective assistance for the obstetric team to support complex obstetric surgery.

Preston is one of the four bases for Manchester university medical students. We provide academic and pastoral support to over 300 medical students in their clinical years 3, 4 and 5.
