The job plan will be subject to annual review, with any revisions sought by mutual agreement but it is expected that the successful candidate will work with the CMG management team to ensure that services are delivered efficiently and reflect best practice with processes and governance to match - this may require new and flexible ways of working in the future.
The job plan runs over a nine week period and consists of 2 types of working week:
- Hot Week Delivery Suite Cover
- Core job plan
The Consultants work in teams. The teams provide prospective cover for clinics, MAU and elective Caesarean section lists. Therefore there has to be a degree of flexibility for these sessions.

The Leicester Royal Infirmary cares for 6 000 deliveries each year. The Leicester General Hospital has 4200 deliveries as well as being the referral centre for transfers from Melton Mowbray. Two thirds of women begin their care with a midwifery lead. Consultants are encouraged to have a specialist service in obstetrics as well as standard setting in all aspects of care. Joint working with anaesthesia, haematology, endocrinology, renal medicine and cardiology is well established.
There are 4 Maternal-Fetal Medicine Subspecialists within the service and further development of Fetal Medicine is a priority.
