FELLOWSHIP IN PAEDIATRICS - OPHTHALMOLOGY

Applications are invited from suitably qualified ophthalmologists for this funded post for a period of one year.

This post is designed as a post CCST position, Specialist Registrars nearing completion of training or equivalent will also be considered.

Please note however that the period may not be accredited for CCST training by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.

Please note, this post is aligned to Trust specific pay scales and terms and conditions of service and is not linked to the 2016 doctors in training terms and conditions of service and pay scales.

In addition to the below summary you need to familiarize yourself with the full Job Description and Person Specification documents attached to this advert.

The main commitment of the post will be to Paediatrics but the Fellow will be expected to deliver appropriate care to patients with other eye conditions where necessary.

This will provide the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of diagnosis and treatment.

There is no formal on-call commitment but out of hours care of patients under the care of the Paediatric Consultants will be expected on an occasional basis where clinically necessary.

An electronic patient management system (MediSIGHT) is used throughout the department. The Fellow will be expected to become proficient in its use early in the period of the fellowship.

The Fellow will be a non-consultant member of the Paediatric service.

The Fellow will receive a comprehensive training in Paediatrics with additional training in specialist areas of interest appropriate to the supervising consultants.

The success of the Fellowship is dependent upon integration into the existing firms of the consultants such that teaching, training and clinical experience is maximised for all concerned.

As part of our commitment to provide the best care to our patients, we will in the near future be extending our Ophthalmology service to include some evening and weekend work.

As a member of the team you will be expected to participate in the provision of this extended service on a rota basis.

Duties are principally at Nottingham University Hospitals, but occasional visits may be required to other hospitals.
