Main duties of the job
The hospital provides a comprehensive secondary and tertiary service in gynaecological oncology. This post is to provide a high-quality service to our population with particular emphasis on the minimal access surgical techniques, cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC for management of gynaecological cancers.

Participation in the gynaecological consultant on-call rota (with two mid-grade support) is expected. Evidence of significant experience in cytoreductive surgery and advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques would be highly desirable.
