We host the regional Maternal Medicine Network, offering opportunities to contribute to specialist care alongside colleagues from a range of disciplines. The Maternal Medicine Centre cares for women with complex medical needs from our local population and referring hospitals. Highly specialised weekly clinics cover diabetes, hypertension, haematology, cardiology, nephrology, HIV, perinatal mental health, drug misuse and preterm birth prevention. Consultants are encouraged to develop a specialist obstetric service alongside their wider responsibility for standard setting across all aspects of care. You will work within a multidisciplinary team and supervise resident doctors. Job plan and clinical commitments The job plan runs over a nine-week period and comprises two types of working week: Hot Week Delivery Suite Cover Core job plan Consultants work in teams to provide prospective cover for clinics, MAU and elective Caesarean section lists. A degree of flexibility is therefore required for these sessions. Your job plan will be reviewed annually, with any revisions sought by mutual agreement. You will work with the CMG management team to ensure services are delivered efficiently and reflect best practice, with appropriate processes and governance. This may require new and flexible ways of working in the future. Management and service responsibilities You will undertake the managerial duties associated with the care of your patients and the running of the Clinical Department. You will also bring an understanding of the wider health agenda and the NHS. Supporting professional activities and education Most consultants within the Trust are expected to have 2 programmed activities (PAs) for supporting professional activities (SPA). A minimum of 1.5 PAs is allocated to all consultants for SPA to support revalidation requirements, including audit, CPD and mandatory training. In addition, educational supervisors are allocated 0.25 PA per supervisee, with a further 0.25 PA allocated for education/teaching. Eligibility Candidates should have completed specialty training or be within six months of completing training. Bring your expertise, develop your specialist interests and help shape the future of obstetric care in Leicester. We look forward to welcoming you to our team.
