Endocrinology is based, to varying degrees, on two wards; Kingfisher and Squirrel. Kingfisher ward is an investigation unit, open 6 days/week. The doctor will gain considerable experience in most important areas of paediatric endocrinology as well as general paediatrics from cross-covering other specialties (metabolic medicine, gastroenterology, nephrology, rheumatology and dermatology) out of hours.
Additionally, Endocrine advice and management support of patients is provided to other teams throughout GOSH, most notably Neurosurgical patients based on Koala ward.
All annual and study leave will be coordinated within the allocated specialty. These posts will be flexible, thus allowing the ST5+ to benefit from the wide range of experience available, and may be tailored to individual needs. This post does not have formal educational approval.
