The department is also a Gynae-oncology Centre, an accredited centre of excellence for the treatment of endometriosis and a specialist uro - gynaecology service., This is a fixed term post with opportunity for extension, which aims to provide the appointee with obstetrics and gynaecology training. This post also have opportunity to gain experience in minimal access surgery and open benign gynaecology surgery including operative laparoscopic surgeries, laparoscopic hysterectomy, abdominal hysterectomy and endometriosis surgery.
This is a particularly exciting time to join the department as we look to expand the benign gynaecology services and develop our minimal access unit. This will provide the appointee with valuable experience in service development, business case writing and guideline/protocol development.
This is an ideal post for someone keen to develop advanced laparoscopic skills and/ or complete the RCOG Benign Gynaecology or Acute Gynaecology ATSMs. This will suit a post CCT doctor or a doctor wishing to complete CESR. It will also suit those wishing to increase their surgical experience prior to completing speciality training, through the OOPE route. The primary supervisor for this post will be Mr Francis Usifo.
