Consultant Paediatrician with Special Interest in Neonates
2 months ago
Job summary
We are looking for a keen and motivated consultant paediatrician with sub-speciality interests, particularly in neonatology and epilepsy, to join our busy and dynamic team.
Main duties of the job
The Department of Paediatrics provides hospital-based in-patient and out-patient acute paediatric care, including level 2 neonatal services.
The successful candidate will contribute to consultant daytime service delivery in paediatrics and their subspecialty interest at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and at satellite clinics in Wisbech in conjunction with consultant colleagues.
The successful candidate will support our consultant delivered acute Paediatric service. The Rota comprises a 1 in acute 'Consultant of the week' (including provision of support to the Level 2 Local Neonatal Unit). In addition, the consultant will participate in the 1 in 9 on call Rota (non- resident nights and non-resident weekend, supporting the resident Middle Grade Tier Paediatrician).
The successful candidate will also support the 'neonatal consultant of the week' rota (8 weeks/year), covering the neonatal unit for ward rounds Monday to Thursday mornings to provide continuity.
About us
There's never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At the QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across West and North Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
