Senior Clinical Fellow - Paediatrics and Neonatology

Job overview

We are seeking to employ a Paediatric Clinical Fellow (ST4-8 equivalent) in Paediatrics for a fixed time period of 1 year.

The post will be based in acute Paediatrics with Neonatology at West Middlesex Hospital. The post-holder will work alongside London Deanery trainees from general practice and paediatrics on a combined rota, with access to educational opportunities, including daily teaching sessions and simulation sessions.

The Special Care Baby Unit is based within the Queen Mary Maternity and has 16 cots, 2 of which are open cots designated for Intensive Care. Infants under 1kg or 30 weeks gestation are stabilised prior to transfer to the perinatal unit within the North-West London Network.

There is a commitment to teaching and learning at all levels with an active weekly teaching programme.

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 new-borns prior to transfer to other tertiary units for ongoing care.

The post would be suitable for a clinician who has 2+ years of paediatric experience (with at least 6 months of neonatal experience).

Main duties of the job

• Provide day-to-day care for children in partnership with the consultants and the multidisciplinary team.
• Prepare and contribute to Paediatric MDT meetings and journal clubs.
• Participate in paediatric and neonatal resuscitations with the team.
• Participate in out of hours rotas.
• Help with acute paediatric emergencies as part of the paediatric resuscitation team.
• Contribute to the postgraduate and undergraduate teaching programme.
• Participate in audit, guideline development and clinical research within the department.
