Obstetricians and gynaecologists

Obstetricians and Gynaecologist Roles

We urgently need experienced obstetricians and gynaecologists to help make motherhood safer for disadvantaged women and their babies. You’ll need to be a registered obstetrician or gynaecologist with at least three years’ post-registration experience, and you could be working in countries such Ethiopia, Sierra Leone or Tanzania.

Support

In return, we'll give you comprehensive financial, personal and professional support.  We'll provide you with extensive training prior to your placement, and our financial package includes a living allowance, return flights and visas, accommodation and full medical insurance. NHS employees can volunteer with continued membership of the NHS pensions scheme. When you return home, we'll help and support you to resettle, and many of our returned volunteers stay involved with us long after their placement ends.

Shorter-term roles in Ethiopia

In 2011 we urgently need Obstetricians and Gynaecologists for 3 and 6 month roles, providing on-the-job teaching and training in emergency obstetrics for doctors in Ethiopia. Apply now and you could be overseas in early 2012.
