Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Paediatric Infectious Diseases & Immunology team in Manchester. This is a full-time 10 Programmed-Activity (PA) post in an expansion of the role of the PID team with the option of working alternate weeks at RMCH and then at NMGH delivering the existing PID service. The first step is the development of a robust Paediatric Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (pOPAT) service. This is based on the provision of a Virtual Ward including daily communication with community teams, same day case review of patients as needed and once weekly review of all patients. The electronic records and prescribing enables the identification of potential patients across MFT. The consultant role includes Antimicrobial Stewardship rounds to encourage appropriate prescribing and eligibility for pOPAT.

The new role will be primarily based at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital with cross cover for PID clinics at NMGH when one consultant is off. The timetable will include a rotation across all the wards at RMCH including the Emergency Department with the aim of encouraging admission avoidance by use of the Virtual Ward for children on IV antibiotics. There will be additional multidisciplinary ward rounds with microbiology and virology on PICU, HDU, Haematology/Oncology and the NICU at St Mary’s Hospital. There will be a rota for PID phone advice and dedicated daily 1 hour availability at the Paediatric ID MDT Teams meeting for referrals for advice both within MFT and externally from other North West hospitals and GPs.

Applicants for this post must have extensive experience in PID support to general medical, surgical, neonatal and paediatric intensive care units. They are also expected to have CCT/CESR in Paediatric Infectious Diseases & Immunology or be eligible for it. Applicants should have experience in management of children with HIV, viral hepatitis, TB, tropical infections, microbiology, understanding of inborn errors of immunity and research.

MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we’ve launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the ‘NHS England’ website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

Diversity Matters

We’re looking forward to hearing from you
