Description
This is a substantive consultant post to join a team of nineteen other Consultants in Obstetrics & Gynaecology.

The appointee will be expected to contribute to the Endometriosis service at CUH.

CUH has BSGE recognised Endometriosis Centre status and we are keen to continue to deliver excellence in this service following the retirement of one of their consultants.

In addition the post holder will contribute to obstetrics 98-hours consultant presence on labour ward and general obstetric commitments including antenatal clinics.

They will also be expected to contribute to the Gynaecologist of the Week on call, general gynaecology clinics and operating sessions.

The maternity unit comprises 40 antenatal and postnatal beds, 11 labour rooms and 2 obstetric theatres. The number of deliveries is approximately 3,600 per annum. The unit has a shared care system with local GPs. High risk women will receive their antenatal care by hospital consultants. Any anticipated deliveries below 27 weeks are transferred to the regional tertiary unit at St George's Hospital. The obstetrics department runs a number of specialist clinics including endocrine, VBAC, perinatal mental health and hypertension.

There is also a specialist haemoglobinopathies clinic to reflect the needs of the local population and the department is looking to extend its service in Gestational Diabetes as there is a growing need for care in this area.

Working for your organisation


Croydon Health Services provides integrated NHS services to care for people at home, in schools, and health clinics across the borough as well as at Croydon University Hospital (CUH) and Purley War Memorial Hospital.

CUH provides more than 100 specialist services and is home to the borough's only Emergency Department and 24/7 maternity services, including a labour ward, midwifery-led birth centre and the Crocus home-birthing team.

Purley War Memorial Hospital (PWMH) in the south of the borough offers outpatient care, including diagnostic services, physiotherapy and ophthalmology services run by Moorfields Eye Hospital, alongside an onsite GP surgery.

Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children's Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital.

We are a very close-knit and friendly organization where every one of our 3600 members of staff is valued. We strongly believe that our employees are our greatest asset.

Obstetrics

Neonatology


The attached neonatal unit has 23 cots, 4 at level 1 intensive care, 5 at high dependency and the remaining cots are designated special care.

There are almost 400 admissions to the unit in a year and over a thousand ventilator days.

Gynaecology

The department deals with nearly 3000 gynaecology episodes each month. This includes a mixture of emergencies and electives. The surgical aspect is very busy with up to 15 weekly gynaecology lists.

The department boasts a nationally renowned urogynaecology department offering subspecialist training and also has one of the few Endometriosis centres in the country.

Oncology is delivered by a subspecialist as this is needed to cope with the complexity of our cases. In addition, there are dedicated clinics in all other areas of gynaecology.
