Summary
A Vacancy at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
Chelsea Children’s Hospital is currently recruiting Junior Clinical Fellows in the field of Acute/Inpatient Paediatrics and Paediatric Emergency Medicine for 6-12 months on a fixed term contract. The posts commence in August/September 2024 but there is scope for an earlier start depending on individual needs
These posts cover the paediatric in-patient and out-patient clinical care and will work within the existing paediatric team. They are ideally suited for trainees who want to gain experience in general paediatrics and specialist areas such as Paediatric High Dependency Care (PHDU), Gastroenterology and Paediatric Surgery. The rotation across different specialties will vary, to match the skills of the individuals and needs of the department.
The post is part of a 15-person full time rota providing out of hours cover to the general paediatric inpatients and emergency admissions. The out of hours team is made up of a resident Paediatric Consultant, a Paediatric Medical Registrar, a Paediatric Surgical Registrar and two junior doctors (ST1-ST3 level); this provides both an excellent level of care for children and extensive opportunities for training.
We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East. We have over 6,000 members of staff that arePROUD to Carefor nearly one million people. Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children’s, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, such as award-winning sexual health and HIV clinics.
We’re one of the best preforming Trusts in the country. We’re also one of the top trusts to work for – our staff say they’re engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.
Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as ‘Good’ in all five of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, giving an us overall rating of ‘Good’. We’ve also been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating for ‘use of resources’ by an NHS Improvement inspection.
Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing around £10 million a year in our estate. We are currently spending £25 million on expanding our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and redevelopment of our children’s unit at West Middlesex – in partnership with our charity, CW+ and generous donors.
The Paediatric Emergency posts suit doctors with an interest in developing acute paediatric skills from the Emergency Medicine, General Practice and Paediatric backgrounds. The posts are solely based in the Paediatric Emergency Department (PED) as part of a 1:15 rota, supported by 6 middle grades, 6 Paediatric Emergency Medicine Consultants, specialist paediatric emergency nurses, Paediatric Emergency Nurse Practitioners and a team of acute paediatric resident consultants providing on site, overnight cover.
The department is a recognised RCPCH PEM training centre, being one of only five departments in the region providing specialist PEM registrar training. It also provides training to Emergency Medicine CT3s gaining their PEM experience. Recent London School of Paediatrics and GMC surveys are consistently rating the post as one of the best in London.
The unit is supported by a large inpatient paediatric unit, with most paediatric subspecialties represented on site including paediatric surgery, anaesthetics and the regional burns unit.
Although these posts are not recognised for training, they provide excellent training opportunities. The postholders are expected to keep a training portfolio, have regular assessments with an allocated educational supervisor and will be encouraged to participate in audit and quality improvement projects and demonstrate progression in the field of Paediatrics during their tenure.
