Consultant Obstetrician; interest in diabetes

We are looking for a Consultant Obstetrician to join our tertiary hospital team.

Our maternity service has a variety of specialist clinics (both scan and non‑scan) including mental health, vulnerable service users, twins, preterm birth, small baby and Rainbow. The services are multi‑professional, including our specialist midwives.

• Consultant labour suite cover
• Elective caesarean lists
• Ward rounds
• Maternity triage
• Assessment unit cover
• Antenatal clinics

The successful candidate will be joining our multi‑disciplinary diabetes in pregnancy service, with a weekly clinic and regular MDT meetings.

We have a two‑tier gynaecology on‑call consultant rota. One consultant is rostered to cover emergency gynaecology at the QMC campus; the other is on‑call for complex surgery, which includes oncology at City and maternity on both campuses, in the event that a gynaecologist is required to support the obstetric team.

Any consultant who is unable, for personal reasons, to work full‑time will be eligible to be considered for the post on a part‑time basis. If a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis with the Trust in consultation with consultant colleagues.

This service is provided across both campuses, but your base for emergency obstetrics is the City campus. The proposed Job Plan is detailed in this job description.

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of UK’s largest acute teaching Trusts in England. Our Maternity Services offer a wide range of choice and support for all women and families, from midwifery‑led birthing units to specialised neonatal care.

Our Maternity Service has faced scrutiny since 2020. That’s when we began our journey of vast improvement and sizeable investment towards making our service the best it can be. Be part of a team that is 100% committed to implementing the necessary and sustainable improvements to provide the highest possible care for women and families who use our service.

We’re looking for compassionate, ambitious, and progressive people to join our team. With many opportunities for self‑development and progression, we need people who want to learn and inspire others, who have a voice and want to use it to drive positive change, and who love a challenge and want to be part of transformation.

When you join our team, you’ll be welcomed into our family of supportive and passionate professionals all united by the same vision, ambitions, and goals.
