Description

We are seeking an energetic, enthusiastic, highly skilled locum consultant, with broad experience in paediatric endocrinology, to join our team at University College Hospital (UCLH) in order to provide a General Paediatric Endocrine service.

This is a 6PA post with no on-call commitment.

We would expect the appointee to develop a sub-speciality interest in endocrinology, such as reproductive endocrinology, late effects and/or the Gender Identity Service (GIDS) or to have a special interest that complements the current interests within our department, such as puberty and reproductive endocrinology disorders, pituitary disorders or adrenal disorders.

The appointee will be expected to participate in teaching activities on the UCH site, liaise with the GOSH teaching and training lead.

and will be responsible for educational supervision of trainees.

They will be expected to contribute to service development, audit and to various management and governance activities within the department.

UCLH provides a busy paediatric and adolescent endocrine and diabetes service for local residents, those from London and South East as well as tertiary adolescent referrals.

The service interfaces also with the Portland and Tavistock Clinic for those with Gender Dysphoria.

Annual outpatient attendances total 3,000 for the Paediatric Diabetes Service and 3,500 for the Endocrine practice and 300 GIDS attendances.

The appointee will be part of a dynamic department with great opportunities for training, education and leadership and research.

The Paediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology Department at UCLH forms a partnership with the Paediatric Endocrinology Department at Great Ormond Street Hospital to provide a seamless transition of care to children and adolescents.

Training and education is developed jointly across the two sites, and there are opportunities to collaborate closely with the Endocrinology team at GOSH in terms of research, education and clinical care.

We are developing innovative integrated approaches to clinical care with partner organisations outside the hospital. A new Electronic Health Record System offers exciting opportunities in both Quality Improvement and Research.
