Detailed Description From Employer:

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included. Applications are welcomed for a full time (40 hours per week, 10PA) consultant position in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The successful applicant will join an established team of consultants providing a comprehensive service to the population of Clyde. We are looking for a motivated, forward-thinking colleague who will develop and support new initiatives in the department. This is a permanent post, with an initial focus on supporting the recovery of the gynaecology backlog. There are several ways in which this could be achieved depending on overall skills mix and so a flexible approach is key. Candidates should however be able to offer both general obstetric and gynaecology skills. The job will include core activities of acute obstetric and emergency gynaecology care as well as delivery of elective Caesarean section lists. There will be a contribution to general and specialist outpatient gynaecology clinics and day case gynaecology operating. Gynaecology ultrasound skills are essential to this post. Longer term developing an area of particular interest would be supported. Whilst there will be no regular general obstetric antenatal clinic in the initial job plan, a flexible cover arrangement on an annualised basis is something that would also be supported. The on call component of this post will be contribution to both the obstetric and gynaecology rotas. The usual on call PA commitment may be reduced initially to facilitate increased weekday activities with a view to improving waiting times. If this is required, it would be a temporary arrangement (anticipated no more than two years) and kept under regular review. Applicants must have full GMC registration and a licence to practise. Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT within 6 months of interview date. Non-UK applicants must have completed the CESAR process.
