Consultant General Paediatrician

Successful candidates will join a motivated and supportive team of consultants who work a six week cycle of hot weeks to provide the consistent delivery of acute paediatric services and cover for the inpatient wards. Out-patient services and on-call cover to the Childrens Assessment unit (CAU) and the Childrens Emergency Department (CED) are also incorporated. Resident evening working is part of job plans whilst overnight on-call is non-resident. The department has responsibility for all children admitted to the Trust and so, when on call, the general paediatricians may be required to see children in CED, on the childrens surgical ward, or on ITU. Occasional Safeguarding work may arise out of hours, and the post holder will be expected to follow local guidelines.
