He completed his Postgraduate Specialist Training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in the NorthWest Postgraduate Region. He was accepted onto the GMC Specialist Register for Obstetrics & Gynaecology in 2002. At the end of his training, he was appointed locum Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in the prestigious tertiary referral centre, St Mary's Hospital in Manchester. He held the post until his substantive Consultant appointment in Lincoln. In 2009, Mr Oteri was elevated to Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists  (FRCOG) for his contributions to Obstetrics and Gynaecology, making him a senior Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Mr Oteri has a specialist interest in the minimally invasive treatment of heavy periods. He is also trained to carry out abdominal and vaginal hysterectomies, as well as surgery to repair vaginal prolapse. He performs operative laparoscopies and can treat common ovarian conditions and early-stage endometriosis using keyhole surgery. Mr Oteri is a member of the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy. Mr Oteri is a former Head of Service, Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Lincoln County Hospital. Notable achievements during his tenure were that the Service met and exceeded the 18-week wait target. This meant more patients had their surgery within 18 weeks of being referred by their GPs. Childbirth was also made safer during his term. The Service achieved the NHS' 2030 stillbirth target in 2017, 13 years ahead of time. This meant more mothers went home with their beautiful, healthy babies, making Lincoln one of the safest places to have a baby in the country. Mr Oteri offers private Gynaecology consultations at The Lincoln Hospital, Lincoln.

Mr Odiri Oteri has a Specialist Interest in Minimally Invasive Treatment of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding. He performs diagnostic and therapeutic hysteroscopies. This means patients can have endometrial ablation to treat their heavy periods. If women have polyps in the womb these can be removed by hysteroscopic trancervical resection.  The benefit is these treatments are less invasive and can be done as day cases. The result is a quicker recovery and return to normal with an improved quality of life. These treatments also reduce the need for more invasive surgery like a hysterectomy and its associated longer recovery.
