Main duties of the job

This is an established Trust Fellow post, working in the Immunology/Infectious Diseases/BMT Unit.  The post holder will join the teams managing the care of Immunology, Infectious Diseases and BMT in-patients and children attending the Safari Day care unit.

The immunology department offers a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment service for children with recurrent infections and primary immunodeficiency.  Some of the severe forms of immunodeficiency are treated by bone marrow transplantation (BMT).  There is an active translational research programme in gene therapy for immune deficiencies and novel cell based therapies for treatment of these conditions.  GOSH/ICH is a world leader in this area.  Alongside UCL ICH GOSH is also running a thymus transplantation programme and is one of only two such centres in the world. The major part of the in-patient work involves care of children whose disorders fall within the remit of the supra-regionally funded bone marrow transplant service for severe immunodeficiency.  There is close collaboration between GOS and Newcastle – the second supra-regional centre - in this area.  The department provides a consultation service for other units in the hospital.

The infectious diseases unit offers extensive experience in the management of serious infections and in the investigation and management of unusual infections. The unit also cares for patients admitted with tropical infections and some experience will be obtained in this field.
