Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

**Duties and Responsibilities**: With full consultant supervision and support, the post holder is responsible for patients on a 12 bedded quaternary paediatric cardiac intensive care unit based at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The patients, aged from neonatal to late adolescence, are primarily cardiac with over 350 cases per year. We are one of the 6 UK respiratory ECMO centres and one of the 2 UK paediatric cardiopulmonary transplant centres. We have the second biggest paediatric VAD programme in the world, using Berlin Heart.

There is an active research programme with specific interests in mechanical support as a bridge to transplant, infant respiratory failure and coagulation management. The post holder will be encouraged to be involved in a research project / audit during their time in post and to present this at a national / international meeting. The post is suitable for senior trainees who want to further their cardiac intensive care experience in preparation for becoming a consultant paediatric intensivist. It is also suitable for anaesthetists who already have experience in either adult cardiothoracic intensive care or in paediatric anaesthesia.

Subject to satisfactory performance and with appropriate supervision, opportunity will be given to take on a more senior role within the unit. On-call Commitments: The rota is worked as a 48 hour week full shift system. It is a hybrid 9 person rota incorporating trainees from paediatric cardiac anaesthesia, paediatric intensive care and 2 advanced critical care practitioners. The paediatric cardiology ward is covered by resident SHO with a paediatric cardiology registrar.

With regard to paediatric cardiology, the role of the PICU trainee is for emergency patient review/HDU support. Education The post holder is released to attend monthly PICU teaching days and as far as possible will be encouraged and supported to attend national/international meetings as fits educational needs. There are numerous regular departmental educational meetings and training opportunities. Flexibility: In line with the Trusts core value of placing patients at the heart of everything we do, we are developing our service provision to be responsive to the needs of our patients.
