Clinical Fellow in Paediatric Orthopedics and Trauma

4 weeks ago


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

Job summary

Birmingham Children's Hospital is currently recruiting for two Clinical Fellows in Paediatric Trauma and Orthopaedics available to join the department asap until the end of December 2024 or from August 2024 until February 2025 with the possible further extension.

This post will provide subspecialty training in the generality of Paediatric Orthopaedics and Paediatric Orthopaedic Trauma. While the bulk of the training will be in Paediatric Orthopaedics (Elective and Trauma), exposure to Paediatric Spinal Deformity and Paediatric Orthopaedic Oncology, particularly in theatre, will also be achieved.

The post is suitable for a senior trainee with FRCS (Orth) or equivalent who wishes to pursue a career in Paediatric Orthopaedics. The post may also suit CESR trainees requiring a period of exposure to Paediatric Orthopaedics to satisfy the requirements for entry onto the specialist register but for whom Paediatric Orthopaedics is not a career aspiration. Depending upon numbers of applicants, consideration may also be given to more junior orthopaedic trainees, post-MRCS or equivalent, who can demonstrate sufficient experience in orthopaedics to justify appointment to the post.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will spend most of their time at the Birmingham Children's Hospital site but may be required to attend out-reach clinics, with the Paediatric Orthopaedic Consultants, at one or more of the surrounding hospitals at which we provide services. The postholder will participate in the 1 in 7 non-resident orthopaedic middle grade out-of-hours on call rota at BCH.

BCH runs a daily weekday morning fracture clinic and trauma list (the latter shared between Ortho and Max-Fax). BCH is a tertiary referral centre for most paediatric specialties including orthopaedics. It also provides supra-regional services in many areas including the management of osteogensis imperfect, paediatric spinal deformity, and paediatric orthopaedic oncology.

It is expected that the postholder will take part in the academic activities of the unit and assist in teaching. There will be opportunities for clinical research under the supervision of the Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons and ample time for such research. The appointee will be expected to produce at least one publication and one national presentation during the appointment. The postholder will also have the opportunity to be involved in teaching undergraduates during their Orthopaedic modules.

A subsequent career in Paediatric Orthopaedics at consultant level is expected of post FRCS (Orth) non-CESR applicants.
