The successful candidate will work alongside the 3 Consultants in the Fetal Medicine Unit and will have the opportunity to train in advanced obstetric ultrasound, fetal and uterine doppler studies, First Trimester Screening and invasive procedures.

With the incorporation of Barnet Hospital into the Trust, the work of FMU is expanding to serve the Barnet Obstetric cases.
