Job description
Applications are invited to apply for the above post in the Gynaecology Department at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This is on...
Location
The post-holder's duties will be primarily at the Horton General and John Radcliffe Hospitals but it is a condition of the appointment that the post holder will be willing to work in any of the Trust's locations.
Clinical
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust provides gynaecology services across three sites (John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford, Horton Hospital Banbury and the Churchill Hospital, Oxford). The successful applicant may be required to work across all sites. The successful candidate will ideally be able to support all urgent suspected cancer pathways, including hysteroscopy, colposcopy and surgery, both open and laparoscopically. It would be an advantage to be able to support complex benign surgeries as well. The successful candidate will be expected to keep up to date with emergency gynaecology, reviewing patients in the 'hot clinic' and giving advice to the specialist Early Pregnancy team when on call.
The post-holder will be expected to undertake theatre lists (the majority of the surgery undertaken is minimal access) at the John Radcliffe hospital (including regular (1:4) weekend lists) and at the Horton Hospital in Banbury as required.
The post holder will manage in-patients at the John Radcliffe Hospital and undertake gynaecology on-call duties of no more frequent than 1:10, paid at a Band A supplement. Some clinics may take place outside of the acute trust and it is anticipated that over time more clinics will be located elsewhere.
