Gynaecologist

Due to the retirement of one of the gynaecologists, the gynaecology department of the Coöperatie Medisch Specialistisch Bedrijf (MSB) Matrix U.A. of the Beatrix Hospital is looking for an all-round gynaecologist (0.75 FTE), preferably with a focus on pelvic floor care.

The Beatrix Hospital, part of the Rivas Zorggroep chain organization, is a general hospital with a wide range of specialties, modern facilities, and an outpatient clinic in Leerdam. Integration within the chain organization, close cooperation with GPs and other healthcare providers, guarantees patients the right high-quality medical specialist care at the right place and at the right time.

The gynaecology department consists of seven gynaecologists: Karin van Rijn, Roel de Heus, Jek Persoons, Marlies de Groot, Tjits Potijk, Yvette Zantvoord, and Rob Mooij. The interpersonal atmosphere is friendly. We distribute on-call shifts according to FTE share. Approximately 1,200 women give birth in our clinic per year, so obstetrics plays an important role during shifts.

The department is supported by clinical midwives, sonographers, and a nurse practitioner. We have good contacts with GPs and primary care midwives, with whom we collaborate within the VSV framework. Within the hospital, pelvic floor care is a collaborative effort within the pelvic floor center. Outside the hospital walls, there are good contacts with pelvic floor physiotherapists and regional consultation within the Beter Keten urogynaecological network South-West Netherlands.

• A team player with a healthy dose of enthusiasm for our wonderful profession and a sense of humor.
• Good connecting and social skills.
• A gynaecologist who wants to practice the profession in its full breadth, preferably with a focus on pelvic floor care.
• An active contribution to administrative and organizational tasks in our department and our pelvic floor center.
• Broad involvement in developments within the hospital and a willingness to participate in management and staff committees.
• Attention to education: we train medical students and have an active role in the education of our clinical midwives, nurses, and primary care midwives from our VSV.

• A close-knit group of gynaecologists that highly values pleasant, friendly, and collegial cooperation.
• A department that practices the specialty in its full breadth, while also providing space for one or two areas of focus for each department member.
• Short lines of communication with other medical specialists and general practitioners.
