We believe that education and training of all junior doctors is of crucial importance for our children, babies, our unit and individual career development. Many junior doctors have used the experience gained in our unit to pursue paediatric and GP training posts. We have an enthusiastic, structured and comprehensive education programme. It starts with careful induction. Morning handover meetings for the whole team are followed by topic reviews, case discussions, journal clubs, and audit presentations. There is a regular programme of simulation exercises, which develop skills in management of emergencies. Teaching for the DCH and MRCPCH examination is undertaken, particularly concentrating on clinical skills. The hospital holds weekly Postgraduate Grand Round meetings of very high calibre.

Beyond this, all consultants are committed to ward based teaching on ward rounds and in out-patients. This will include observation of skills and work place based assessments.

The clinical duties are shared between the ten first on call staff and are rotated on a regular basis.

You will be responsible for acute admissions to the children’s ward and their management with close senior supervision.
