You will develop expertise in advanced ultrasound, invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and the management of high-risk pregnancies, while maintaining core obstetric skills through supervised intrapartum practice. The role requires excellent clinical judgement, communication skills and the ability to work effectively across specialties in a fast-paced, highly specialised environment.
The postholder will contribute to audit, quality improvement, teaching and research activity in line with subspecialty training requirements, demonstrating professionalism, initiative and a strong commitment to advancing maternal and fetal outcomes within an academically led service.
