We are looking to appoint a Post CCT Clinical Fellow for a period of 6 months, renegotiable on mutual agreement. This post offers a mix of General Paediatric experience on the Tier 2/middle grade rota and Paediatric Consultant experience in General Outpatients and the Childrens Admissions Unit.
The successful applicant will have flexibility in consultant level work with a focus on general paediatrics, however subspeciality interest will be accommodated where relevant. We would also welcome interest from those seeking to develop skills in quality improvement and/or those seeking time for further postgraduate qualifications. We also offer a broad spectrum of paediatric specialties which would allow a clinical outpatient focus and actively support trainees towards Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health (RCPCH) Specialist Interest (SPIN) modules.
University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust is linked with Plymouth University which has its own medical school on site. There will be ample opportunities to engage with undergraduate teaching or take on a postgraduate qualification. We have an active research programme and dedicated research nurses to support completion of research projects.
The successful applicant will support a team of specialist registrars and Advanced Paediatric Nurse Practitioners to provide in and out of hours cover on the Tier 2/middle grade rota. This post is part of our strategy to achieve RCPCH gold standard medical staffing . The shifts are EWTD and Junior Doctor 2016 contract compliant and cover acute paediatrics only, as there is a separate rota for neonatology.
