Summary
A Vacancy at The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Part of exciting expansion of our paediatric department, these two 9PA substantive posts offer a hybrid of resident acute paediatric care and neonatal attending/on call. We are proud of our Acute Consultant model: On-site consultant(s) 24/7 lead care for neonates, children and young people. These new posts support sustainable rostering of acute care and contribute to a new Neonatal on call rota.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a Stakeholder event on Teams (date/time tba) before AAC Panel interviews; candidates are encouraged to visit the department prior to this. AAC Panel interviews will be held on 20 August 2024. Posts available August; RCPCH approval pending.
Each post has 9 Programmed Activities (PAs), annualised as 7.25 PA Direct Clinical Care (DCC) and 1.75 PA Supporting Clinical Activities (SPA).
Each post contributes to resident Acute Consultant nights (1:14) and non-resident Neonatal on call (1:14); Neonatal attending weeks (1:14) and PAU (Paediatric Assessment Unit) cover on week-days/evenings and 1:14 weekends (total weekend commitment 3:14). Clinic and MDT activity complete DCC.
SPA time includes: professional development; clinical supervision; departmental and governance meetings; service development; guidelines, audit/QI; management/investigation of incidents and complaints. Exact proportions/additional SPA roles discussed in team job planning. Opportunities exist to increase paid work beyond 9PA via additional DCC/SPA roles, e.g. educational supervisor (0.25PA per trainee).
Our department is proud of the care we give our young patients. Trainees appreciate the support and team working that embody Hillingdon paediatrics. We look forward to welcoming new colleagues to our team.
The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the only acute Hospital in the London Borough of Hillingdon and offers a wide range of services including accident and emergency, inpatient care, day surgery, outpatient clinics and maternity services. The Trust’s services at Mount Vernon Hospital include routine day surgery, delivered at a modern treatment centre, a minor injuries unit and outpatient clinics.
The safety and well-being of our patients and of our staff is paramount and we are making urgent improvements to address this – particularly in infection prevention and control. We are making progress and going forward by working in partnership with local GPs, charities,
community services, academic partners, our local authority, neighbouring hospitals and the wider North West London Integrated care system, and ensuring that we listen and work in partnership with our local population. We are absolutely focused on ensuring that our hospitals
provide high quality, safe and compassionate care, while drive forward the building of the new Hillingdon Hospital.
We have over 3,500 members of staff that are proud to care for nearly half a million people, with a vision to be an outstanding provider of healthcare through leading health and academic partnerships, transforming services, to provide the best care where needed.
