This is a substantive post, based at Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, with a potential for subspecialty interest in spasticity and spinal dysraphism.
The successful applicant would join a team of Consultants at Alder Hey, and would become part of a 1 in 6 on-call rota. The post may include specialist clinics / teleconference/ MDTs and activity across other NHS Trusts.
The successful candidate will be required to provide outpatient clinics, surgical intervention, postoperative care and appropriate follow up to patients.
As one of Europe’s biggest and busiest children’s hospitals, at Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust, we treat everything from common illnesses to highly complex and specialist conditions. In addition to our main hospital site, we offer paediatric services at a number of community sites and hold local clinics across Merseyside, Cumbria, Shropshire, Wales and the Isle of Man. We also provide specialist inpatient care for children with complex mental health needs in our recently relocated and newly opened state of the art facility.
Alder Hey has a thriving research portfolio and leads research into children’s medicines, infection, inflammation and oncology. We are becoming recognised as one of the world’s leaders in children’s healthcare and research. We contribute to public health, lead cutting-edge research and teach the next generation of children’s specialists. Alongside this is our Innovation Hub, a dedicated space where clinicians and industries can come together to create new products and technologies.
We know that a children’s hospital is different and that our job is more than just treating an illness. To us, every child is an individual. As well as giving them the very best care, we set out to make them feel happy, safe and confident as they play, learn and grow. At Alder Hey we are here to look after a child and their family and that includes mums, dads, brothers and sisters.
Details of the role can be found in the job description and candidates are welcome to contact the department for a further discussion regarding the role and responsibilities.
