Birmingham, United Kingdom Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The successful applicant will join a thriving Clinical Genetics Service caring for the largest population served by a single Clinical Genetics department in the UK. The Clinical Genetics service is part of a comprehensive Genomics service co-located & working collaboratively with the West Midland Genomics Laboratory, part of the Central & South Genomic Laboratory Hub. The size & nature of the population & the close relationship with the GLH & several local universities, offer excellent opportunities for clinical research & service development. We are an active training centre for both Clinical Geneticists & Genetic Counsellors.

The Clinical Genetics Department sits within the Medicine Division, one of 3 Divisions within the Birmingham Women’s & Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, providing family-centric care for the West Midlands. The Clinical Director is a member of the Trust Management Board. The service benefits from an established operational management team enabling development of the service in line with NHSE, Trust & wider strategic priorities while keeping patient care at the heart of all decisions.

The post-holder will support a clinical genetics service with 9 clinic sessions per month in line with professional guidance for the specialty.

Clinic sessions take place in the Birmingham area & in regional centres across the West Midland. As referral patterns fluctuate, the post requires some flexibility to ensure equity of service delivery, & therefore individuals’ clinic patterns may be reviewed & revised periodically.

The clinical service is delivered by a large, well-established team of Genetic Counsellors with a range of specialist practice, an expanding team of Genomic Associates & Practitioners & an experienced administrative team. There will be scope for development of a speciality interest to suit the interests of the post-holder & the needs of the department. Regular internal & external multi-disciplinary meetings are held across the West Midland with widespread use of virtual technology.

The Trust supports the requirements for continuing professional development as laid down by the Royal College of Physicians. All consultants have a study leave & financial allocation to support attendance at course & conferences.

The Trust has the required arrangements in place, as laid down by the Royal College of Physicians, to ensure that all doctors undergo annual appraisal with a designated trained appraiser & supports doctors with the revalidation process.

This post is for 10 Programmed Activities per week. Request to work part-time will be considered.
