Description

A Junior Clinical Fellow - Paediatrics. ASAP start with initial contracts ending in August 2023.

We are seeking to recruit junior doctors to posts in acute Paediatrics with Neonatology at West Middlesex Hospital.

In all work, the post-holder will be working alongside London Deanery trainees from general practice and paediatrics on a combined rota, with the same access to educational opportunities, including the daily teaching sessions and the simulation sessions.

The posts cover all paediatric inpatient and new-born areas of clinical care, working with the existing paediatric team.

They are ideally suited to trainees who want to gain clinical skills in a general hospital setting of undifferentiated presentations.

The combined rota gives clinical experience in management of general paediatric patients and Neonatology, including stabilisation of critically ill children and newborns prior to transfer to other tertiary units for on-going care.

There is a consultant of the week system, each one running separately for each of the neonatal and ward duties, with leadership from 12 consultants on daily ward rounds.

There are currently two paediatric emergency department consultants, offering clinical supervision education and training within the dedicated paediatric emergency department.
