Job Advert
The Obstetrics Department at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital would like to invite candidates to apply for a full-time Obstetrics Consultant post
This post will include sessions on Labour ward including Obstetric on call and Antenatal clinics. It would be desirable if the candidate has ATSM in High Risk Pregnancy and/or Fetal Medicine, this post is however designed to allow flexibility in the proposed job plan and existing colleagues are willing to negotiate areas of responsibility to fulfil overall service needs and attempt to ensure individuals can pursue their particular special interest areas. There are also formal departmental teaching and training responsibilities for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate trainees included in this post.
The Unit is the designated tertiary referral unit for the North East of Scotland and provides a full range of Obstetric and Gynaecological services. The unit has responsibility for approximately 6000 deliveries and 9000 gynaecology admissions per annum.
Successful candidates will join a strong team of 23 Consultant Obstetricians, Gynaecologists and academic staff.
You will be fully supported by a thriving and friendly department and will be encouraged to take forward service and academic development.

Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register from date of interview. Alternatively, applicants should possess a CESR / CESR (CP). For more information visit www.gmc-uk.org
Applications from doctors with appropriate specialist training and experience who are not listed on the the GMC register or GMC Specialist Register can be considered for a Locum Consultant post (up to 12 months) if no substantive Consultant appointment is made.
