Job overview
The appointee will be required to undertake all aspects of clinical care within this very busy department supporting the consultants in the management of the gynaecological elective and emergency workload. If appointed you will be working in a busy and demanding but supportive department where you will have access to a wide variety of clinical caseloads.
The emergency gynaecology workload has increased with the reconfiguration of Emergency Departments across North West London. There is an emergency gynae/early pregnancy unit at Northwick Park and an early pregnancy unit at Ealing Hospital. Acute pelvic sepsis is common and emergency theatre cases varied, providing opportunities for experience in managing such cases.
Ealing has facilities for clinics, gynaecology theatres, day case and in patient wards. NPH is a busy acute hospital in Harrow with a purpose built maternity unit including delivery suite, obstetric HDU, in-patient facilities, day assessment and clinic facilities. There is a level 2 Neonatal Intensive Care unit. Gynaecology in patient and theatre facilities are located within the main hospital. Both hospitals have comprehensive imaging facilities including CT and MRI suites.
Main duties of the job
There is a committed educational department with weekly SHO tutorials, MDT's, weekly oncology MDT's, weekly emergency gynaecology MDT.
The rota covers
• Gynaecology clinics
· Theatres
• Labour ward
· Gynaecology on calls
· Early Pregnancy Unit
The rota is Band 1a and compliant with EWTD.
In clinics the ST1/2 is additional to the service needs and will be allocated new patients and supervised as part of the learning process.
In theatre the role of the ST1/2 is educational and they may or may not assist. Career grades will be encouraged to learn procedures in greater detail; GP VTS trainees will be encouraged to learn about what may happen to patients they refer in the future.
Depending on service needs, there may be the opportunity to attend Northwick Park Hospital to gain experience in Obstetrics.
