Main duties of the job:
Clinical – On call and emergency cover;
Out of hours (20:30–09:00) a resident ST grade or Speciality Doctor covers Delivery Suite, Maternity Inpatients, and Gynaecology Emergencies and Inpatients. This role is supported by a junior grade doctor resident and a Consultant on call. During normal working hours (08:00–17:30) the emergency duties are shared between a middle grade for Delivery Suite and a Middle Grade for Wards and Gynaecology Emergencies.
