In line with Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorates guidance, National Services Division (NSD) is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated Obstetric Lead for the new National Maternity Network. The Obstetric Lead will provide clinical leadership to the Network jointly with the Network Midwifery Lead.
The Network Lead Clinician will have a key strategic role in working nationally with clinical and non-clinical colleagues, third sector organisations, Scottish Government and other stakeholders to drive forward the development of an effective, integrated, multidisciplinary service for maternity care throughout Scotland. The work of the National Maternity Network will also support the implementation of recommendations in The Best Start, the Scottish Government’s five-year plan for maternity and neonatal care in Scotland.
Applicants will be leaders in maternity care with experience in the provision and development of maternity services. A proven record in leading change, the ability to work across traditional organisational, geographical and professional boundaries, and a demonstrable understanding of the ethos of managed clinical networks are essential.

The employing NHS Board will be recompensed for the agreed sessional commitment on the basis of evidence of actual backfill costs incurred to release the individual to fulfil the Lead Clinician role requirements.
