Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to invite applications for a substantive Consultant Paediatric Intensivist to join the Critical Care team based at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children (BRHC).
Paediatric Critical Care at BRHC consists of an 18 bedded Paediatric Intensive Care in addition to 18 designated High Dependency beds distributed across the medical, surgical and cardiac specialist areas. The Wales and West Acute Transport for Children service (WATCh) is the regional paediatric critical care transport and decision support service which takes approximately 1400 advice and referral calls annually, with approximately 500-600 transports performed each year. Together, we support the critical care needs for all major sub-specialities hosted in our regional specialist paediatric hospital. There is an active congenital cardiac surgery programme, specialist haematology, oncology and BMT services and the hospital is the designated regional Major Trauma Centre and is a national Burns Centre. The service is recognised for training by the PICM ISAC and support general paediatricians to achieve the HDU SPIN competencies.
The successful candidate will work across all paediatric critical care areas (PIC/WATCh/HDU). Approximately 2/3 of the clinical activity is PIC (approximately 5.5 PAs) with 1/3 at WATCh or on HDU (approximately 3 PAs). Consultants typically rotate between WATCh and HDU so during a rota period they work across PIC and one other critical care area (rather than all three areas).
Applicants should be from a paediatric, intensive care or anaesthetic background and those with a strong interest in management and leadership would be welcomed. They should have completed a minimum of two years training in Paediatric Intensive Care Medicine in an approved RCPCH PICM Grid training centre and a minimum of 6 months of anaesthetic with on call equivalent to a CT 1 trainee and must either be on the Specialist Register in their base speciality or within six months of their expected date of receipt of a CCT if in a UK PICM training programme. Applicants who trained via the CESR or GMC portfolio pathway or equivalence, must be on the specialist register at time of application. We are open to supporting the development of the successful candidate’s specialist interests through the job planning process.
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England. UHBW has been rated by the CQC as ‘Good’ overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston and beyond. As a forward- thinking multi-award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world-leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact. Our hospitals are spread across Bristol and Weston, join us and you can enjoy the very best of both worlds; city living within a stone’s throw of the countryside or beside the seaside, both with easy access to all that the South West has to offer. UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. As an equal opportunities employer actively working towards a diverse workforce we aim to recruit and retain a workforce which represents the rich diversity of the local population at all levels and are committed to designing our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them. Anonymous information will be used from your application in order to ensure we’re meeting our pledge.
