These working arrangements have now been formalised through a managed Clinical Network.


The team are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated cardiologist with a subspecialty interest in inherited cardiac conditions The post-holder will report through the Clinical Lead at Alder Hey Children's to the Chief Executive with professional support from the Director of the Surgical Division.

The appointee will work alongside an established consultant and with a team of allied health professionals caring for children with inherited cardiac conditions across the North West, North Wales and Isle of Man network.


There will be three specialist ICC clinics per month (across Level 1 and 2 centres) and a key role in the ICC fortnightly MDT run at Alder Hey and jointly with adult colleagues at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital.


At Alder Hey a 'Consultant of the Week' rota is in operation, where one consultant is responsible for all daytime acute referrals and inpatient care during that week (1 in 11 weekday; 1 in 11 weekend).

A separate on-call rota is provided for interventional cardiology (presently 1 in 3 basis).

In addition to our main hospital site, we offer paediatric services at a number of community sites and hold local clinics across Merseyside, Cumbria, Shropshire, Wales and the Isle of Man.

We also provide specialist inpatient care for children with complex mental health needs in our recently relocated and newly opened state of the art facility.

Alongside this is our Innovation Hub, a dedicated space where clinicians and industries can come together to create new products and technologies.

We know that a children's hospital is different and that our job is more than just treating an illness. To us, every child is an individual.

As well as giving them the very best care, we set out to make them feel happy, safe and confident as they play, learn and grow.
