Quinte Health’s 7.0 FTE Obstetricians Gynecologists provide specialized consultative, urgent, and emergency care to women across the care continuum. The locum will provide coverage within this rotation for both obstetrical and gynaecological care, including consults and referrals for in-patients and out-patient care from the Emergency Departments, family physicians, other specialty services, and midwives.

Births at Quinte Health each year number between 1,450 and 1,500. Our Maternal Child unit at Belleville General Hospital has a 17-bed obstetrical unit, NICU so would say 8-bed Level 2A NICU for high-risk newborns (accepting neonates 34 weeks and up currently), two operating rooms for Cesarean sections, and a shared obstetrical assessment – triage clinic. The unit was redeveloped in 2000.

Applicants must be certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and must be eligible for a full independent medical license with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO).

Quinte Health is a family of four hospitals—Belleville General Hospital, North Hastings Hospital, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and Trenton Memorial Hospital—that are working to “Create Healthier Communities. Together”.

The team of 2,600 staff and physicians provide care through four emergency departments, operating rooms at three hospitals, a rehabilitation day hospital, ambulatory care clinics, and a range of diagnostic services. There are more than 335 inpatient beds for acute medical patients, intensive care, obstetrics, paediatrics, mental health, complex continuing care, rehabilitation, and surgery. In addition, Quinte Health is proud to operate the Quinte Children’s Treatment Centre, community mental health programs, and to be a member of the Hastings Prince Edward Ontario Health Team.

The Quinte area is in southeastern Ontario. The area includes some of the most diverse and beautiful countryside in Ontario. From the lakes of Bancroft down to the wine country, picturesque towns, and Sandbanks beach of Prince Edward County, and through the more urban Belleville/Quinte West/Brighton corridor alongside Lake Ontario, almost every lifestyle interest can be found within the communities served by Quinte Health. The region offers low cost of living, affordable homes, and excellent schools as well as quality local theatre, shopping and restaurants. Belleville and Quinte West are located along the highway 401 corridor, and Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Kingston are all easy driving distance.
