This is an exciting opportunity for a physician to work alongside the obstetric and midwifery leads for the Wessex Maternal Medicine Network (WMMN). Your main duty will be to coordinate and support care for women and birthing people across the region with medical conditions diagnosed before, during, and after the pregnancy, to provide medical expertise and improve clinical outcomes. 

Alongside the clinical leads, you will collaborate with the project team to develop network-based activity. The role of the obstetric physician is well established within the region; this is a replacement post following retirement. The post is advertised as permanent however, consideration will be given for a locum (fixed term) appointment if not all the requirements are met.

We are committed to delivering outstanding maternity care across the WMMN. As part of this commitment, we are looking to recruit a consultant obstetric physician to continue the development of obstetric medicine services in the region. 

We welcome all eligible candidates interested in full-, or part-time/job-sharing opportunities. You could still be considered for the role without formal obstetric physician training if you are able to demonstrate a strong medical foundation, along with enthusiasm and aptitude for the role. We will be supporting you in developing the necessary skills in this specialty.
