This is a three-year programme leading to subspecialty accreditation in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, including the research component required for accreditation. Trainees who obtain approved research exemption may be eligible for a shorter programme in accordance with current RCOG requirements.

The programme offers outstanding clinical exposure across the full breadth of reproductive medicine and surgery within a high-performing multidisciplinary service. It has an excellent track record, with previous trainees progressing to consultant posts in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery within the United Kingdom.

We welcome applications from ambitious clinicians committed to a career in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery. Applications are invited from candidates eligible for entry into RCOG Subspecialty Training, including eligible UK and international applicants who meet current GMC and RCOG requirements.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL COMMUNICATION WILL BE ELECTRONIC, PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT REGULARLY. If you have any issues with applying online and need additional support including reasonable adjustments with the application process please contact the recruitment manager for this post who will put you in touch with the recruitment team. We recognise that work life balance is important for our colleagues and so we invite requests from applicants around less than full time/flexible working for our advertised roles. Please contact the recruiting manager to discuss this prior to your application submission. We commit to giving this full consideration in each case. We encourage people from diverse backgrounds to apply for our roles, as diversity strengthens our teams. It is sometimes necessary to close vacancies before the closing date. If you have not heard from us within 4 weeks of the closing date, please assume that you have not been shortlisted.
