Job summary

Our tertiary fetal medicine service is a regional referral centre. The main referral hospitals for fetal and maternal medicine problems are Mansfield (King's Mill), Lincoln, Boston and Grantham. Between them, these deliver more than 9000 women. Referrals come from Derby for paediatric surgical, neurosurgical and paediatric nephrology cases. Referrals for cases of suspected facial cleft come from most of the Trent region. QMC is the only provider of a fetal blood transfusion service in the East Midlands. The busy fetal-maternal medicine unit consists of a well-developed team of subspecialists (four sub-specialists are predominantly based at QMC and one at City) in a dedicated clinical area with one or two clinics running every day of the week and regular MDT meetings with clinical genetics and neonatal team on a weekly basis.

Our maternal medicine service includes general maternal medicine clinics supported by an obstetric physician, and also joint specialist clinics including renal, epilepsy, diabetes and haematology. Our maternal cardiac service is supported by a team of cardiologists with a variety of special interests, and co-ordinated via our obstetric cardiology MDT. We have links with the East Midlands Maternal Medicine Network.

Our maternity service has a variety of other specialist clinics (both scan and non-scan) including: mental health, vulnerable service users, twins, preterm birth, small baby and Rainbow.
