Description

We are looking to appoint a Band 7 Advanced Practitioner Dietitian to support the the Children's Cystic Fibrosis team at Nottingham Children's Hospital.

The children's cystic fibrosis dietitian works as part of a multi-disciplinary team delivering care to outpatients and inpatients with cystic fibrosis in Nottingham and in network clinics across shared care centres.

The dietitian works with families from diagnosis in infants through to transition of young people to adult CF clinics.

The role includes providing expert advice on the introduction and use of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy and other CF specific medications, diet and feeding related issues and monitoring and assessment of nutritional status.

Cystic fibrosis causes a range of complications and liaison is often required with other specialist colleagues, e.g. Paediatric Diabetes & Gastroenterology.

Training and education are a key part of the post, including development of local guidelines, teaching staff at NUH and dietetic colleagues in shared care centres, as well as involvement in work at national level.

We are seeking a dynamic individual who has an interest in working in a specialist and learning-rich environment, who can demonstrate compassion and empathy for our children, young people and their families.

The Nottingham Children's Hospital (NCH) is based at the Queens Medical Centre campus and is part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH).

We provide In-patient and out-patient care for children up to the age of 19 years old.

With 97 beds, we care for around 40,000 children each year from Nottinghamshire and beyond, treating a full range of conditions, including planned and emergency treatment and surgery, Burns and Plastics, Neurological conditions, Oncology, Paediatric critical care, Renal conditions and transplantation, and Spinal and Orthopaedic care.

The Children's Therapy team at NCH is a friendly and supportive department who work closely alongside the wider MDT, providing excellent evidence based care and innovative ways of working.

Throughout NUH we have a diverse range of AHP and support staff who work together to deliver the high quality care we aspire to supported by our Chief AHP to lead us on our strategic direction.

You will be required to wear PPE as guided by local and national policy.
