NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
The shift pattern for this post is on-call.
This full time permanent post results from an expansion of paediatric ENT services at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow. The post will initially be a 12 month fixed term contract.
You will join a team delivering elective surgical and outpatient services with the aim of supporting delivery of waiting time guarantees for outpatient clinics and elective surgery services across Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The job plan will be structured according to the individual’s special interests and departmental needs. The department already provides a multitude of secondary and tertiary level care paediatric ENT and undertakes the National Complex Airway Service for Scotland. This is an exciting time to be joining the department, as we reconfigure our service towards a model of centralised inpatient and emergency activity, supported by specialist Day Case units.
The post is primarily based at the Paediatric ENT Department at the Royal Hospital for Children. The on-call component will involve cross cover with the adult ENT service based at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The post holder would be on the second tier (non-resident) of the ENT on-call rota.
The post holder will join a team including 7 consultant otolaryngologists, 1 audiovestibular physician, 2 specialty doctors, 1 senior clinical fellow, 2 speciality registrars, 1 junior fellow, two complex airway clinical nurse specialists and 2 ENT clinical nurse specialists. The department has a recognised research portfolio and is actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate education.
