Go back The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust Locally Employed Doctor (ST3+) in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

The closing date is 23 January 2026

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Locally Employed Tier 2 Doctor to work within the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. The Princess Royal Hospital is a busy DGH with around 4500 deliveries a year in the beautiful county of Shropshire. The team covering emergency work consists of Resident Consultants, Tier 2 (Registrar) and Tier 1 (SHO) doctors covering O&G on a 24hrs a day basis.

You will participate in the Tier 2 resident rota on a 1:12 basis which includes days, nights and weekends. You will also have access to gynaecology clinics and theatres. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in the field of O&G in this consultant led and delivered service. You will have the opportunity to take on a SITM as part of your CPD time and we will strongly encourage you to develop a special interest.

We would be happy to support you with a CESR application if appropriate.
