Job summary

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Paediatric Infectious Diseases & Immunology team in Manchester. We are recruiting a substantive 10 Programmed-Activity (PA) posts in an expansion 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.

Main duties of the job

The new roles 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.
