We are looking for an organised, motivated, and experienced Medical Secretary to join our busy Gynaecology team. This is an exciting opportunity to provide high-quality administrative and secretarial support to consultants and clinical teams within a fast-paced department.

The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring the smooth coordination of patient pathways, clinic administration, and communication between patients, clinicians, and multidisciplinary teams.

Main duties of the job
