This is a replacement post. The Complex Gynaecology Fellow at King’s College Hospital, London, plays a pivotal role in managing and advancing care for patients with complex gynaecological conditions. As a tertiary referral centre, King’s provides specialized services for patients with advanced endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, fibroids, congenital gynaecological anomalies, and complex benign gynaecological pathology, requiring multidisciplinary expertise and cutting-edge treatments.
This fellowship offers a unique opportunity to gain advanced surgical training, particularly in minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robotic) gynaecology, alongside leading experts in the field. The fellow will work within a multidisciplinary team of consultants, pain specialists, radiologists, urologists, colorectal surgeons, and specialist nurses, ensuring a comprehensive, patient-centered approach.
The role also includes exposure to complex outpatient diagnostic pathways, advanced imaging interpretation, and participation in specialist MDT meetings to guide patient management. Additionally, the fellow will have opportunities to engage in research, quality improvement projects, and medical education, contributing to the development of evidence-based practices and innovations in complex gynaecology.
It is anticipated that this will be a fixed-term appointment for 12 months to extend the post, depending on success.
