Here at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, we are proud to provide expert, compassionate care for our local population. We are ranked as the third in the country for research, embedding education and training across the organisation. Our main hub is the Queen Alexandra Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals on the south coast employing over 8,700 staff.
Our patients come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes our hospital stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for getting it right for patients, colleagues, and our community, you will find a home at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust.
Portsmouth Hospitals University Trust are looking to recruit a Consultant in General Paediatrics with a special interest in epilepsy & paediatric neurology to complement the busy Paediatric department. Applicants should hold a certificate of completion of specialist training in Paediatrics or equivalent, and be able to demonstrate enthusiasm and experience within the field of general paediatrics. This post does not contribute to the neonatal service which is staffed separately.
The successful candidate will join a dedicated consultant team who provide general and specialist paediatric services to the population of Portsmouth and South East Hampshire. The post will be based at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth and will provide general paediatric services, with special interest in epilepsy and paediatric neurology. The job plan will be based on 10 programmed activities and will include participation in the general paediatric on-call rota.
Job Summary
This is a 10PA post in general paediatrics, however part time applicants are welcome. Applicants should have a CCT in general paediatrics (or equivalent) with appropriate epilepsy & Paediatric neurology experience.
This post will support an existing consultant with a Paediatric epilepsy & neurology interest. We have shared care outpatient clinics with our regional sub-specialty Paediatric neurology colleagues from University Hospital Southampton (UHS). The post holders are supported by a team of 4 Paediatric epilepsy nurses.
The successful appointee will join a motivated and supportive team of consultants who work a six week cycle of hot weeks to provide the consistent delivery of acute paediatric services and cover for the inpatient wards. Out-patient services and on-call cover to the children’s unit and the paediatric Emergency Department are also incorporated. Resident evening working is part of job plans whilst overnight on-call is non-resident. The department has responsibility for all children admitted to the Trust and so, when on call, the general paediatricians may be required to see children in ED, on the children’s surgical ward, or on ITU. Occasional Safeguarding work may arise out of hours, and the post holder will be expected to follow local guidelines.
