Sas Doctor In Office Gynaecology

Overview

The University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) invite applications for maximum part-time (8PA) or full-time (10PA) substantive SAS in Office Gynaecology. The Gynaecology team at UHL is of high quality with a proven track record of service innovation for the benefit of patients, supported by the Trust objectives and strategy to improve the delivery of planned and emergency obstetric and gynaecological care across a diverse population.

This is a part-time non-training grade post to work with existing consultants and trainees in providing Gynaecology service, mainly at the East Midlands Planned Care Centre (EMPCC). The UHL Trust ambition (pending final financial approval) is to collocate women's services into a purpose-built women's hospital on the LRI site. EMPCC will open in December 2024 to provide outpatient, ambulatory, and day-case services in gynaecology alongside other specialities.

Main duties of the job

The SAS post holder will support the Gynaecology Service in an outpatient/office setting and will have additional qualifications or skills to facilitate this, for example:

• Diagnostic and Operative Ambulatory Hysteroscopy, including managing women with abnormal uterine bleeding.
• Menopause management.
• Urogynaecology investigations and management.
• Subfertility or Recurrent Miscarriage clinics.
• General Gynaecology clinics.

Additional qualifications or experience in these areas will be advantageous (e.g., ATSM in advanced hysteroscopy, Menopause care, Urogynaecology). There will be no on-call component to this post; however, the post includes regular Saturday working on 4 Saturdays in 12 weeks on a rolling basis, with all Mondays and half Friday mornings OFF DUTY.

As this post is regulated by the Protection of Children Act 1999, an enhanced disclosure by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) will be undertaken.
