Job Description

A Human Overview of the Role

This post is designed for a consultant who enjoys balanced obstetric and gynaecological practice while developing a meaningful specialist contribution in urogynaecology. You would join a friendly, high-functioning department that values collaboration, innovation, and patient-centred care.

The urogynaecology service is already well established, supported by specialist consultants, a dedicated nurse team, and a structured multidisciplinary meeting. Your work would span general obstetrics & gynaecology alongside focused pelvic floor care — allowing both breadth and specialisation in everyday practice.

What Your Working Week Would Involve

Core Obstetrics & Gynaecology

  • Deliver consultant-level care across inpatient, outpatient, elective, and emergency settings
  • Participate in a 1:12 on-call rota with consultant-led labour ward rounds
  • Lead antenatal, gynaecology, and ambulatory clinics
  • Perform theatre sessions including elective caesareans and day surgery
  • Teach and supervise junior doctors and trainees
  • Contribute to governance, audit, and quality improvement
  • Specialist Urogynaecology Focus
  • Manage pelvic floor and lower urinary tract disorders
  • Run specialist clinics (prolapse, incontinence, pessary care)
  • Provide surgical management aligned with Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and British Society of Urogynaecology standards
  • Participate in pelvic floor MDT discussions
  • Support mesh surveillance and complication pathways
  • Help develop modern pelvic floor surgical and ambulatory care models

Department Environment

You would join a supportive consultant body where teamwork is the norm and professional growth is encouraged. The service emphasises safe practice, shared decision-making, and continuous improvement. Teaching and mentorship are core expectations, ensuring sustainable training for future clinicians.

Life & Work in Somerset

Somerset offers a rare blend of countryside, coast, and easy access to cities such as Bristol and Exeter. Affordable housing, strong schools, and natural beauty make it attractive for long-term settlement. Relocation support may be available subject to Trust criteria.

Essential Professional Profile

Applicants should demonstrate:

  • Medical degree with membership of a recognised obstetrics & gynaecology college
  • Full registration with General Medical Council
  • Entry (or imminent entry) on the GMC Specialist Register via CCT/CESR
  • Advanced urogynaecology training or equivalent expertise
  • Broad obstetric and gynaecological clinical competence
  • Ability to lead services and work autonomously
  • Desirable additions include postgraduate academic qualifications, research activity, and experience in service development.

Governance & Safeguarding

This role involves work with vulnerable patients and therefore requires enhanced clearance through the Disclosure and Barring Service.
