For out of hours (20:30 - 09:00 hours) there is a resident ST grade or Speciality Doctor covering Delivery Suite, Maternity Inpatients, as well as Gynaecology Emergencies and Inpatients. This role is supported by a junior grade doctor resident, and a Consultant on call (non-resident).

During normal working hours 08:00-17:30, the emergency duties are shared between a middle grade for Delivery Suite and a Middle Grade for Wards and Gynaecology Emergencies.
