The National Ehlers-Danlos SyndromesService
The national Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) service is a specialist quaternary service for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with rare, monogenic types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
The EDS Service aims to:
• correctly diagnose and investigate rare, monogenic types of EDS in children and adults.
• discuss with referrers about diagnosis and management of individuals with rare EDS, encouraging appropriate referral to the clinic and ongoing care.
• deal with complex results for patients investigated by other specialities
• closely collaborate with genetic laboratories
• be available to advise patients with regards to their ongoing care in the context of their diagnosis, (improving their quality of life and reducing risk of complications).
• be available to advise health care professionals
• offer follow-up specific rare types of EDS. This may be through contact with genetic counsellors or for example, in joint cardiovascular clinics.
• Be innovative and improve the service through service development including developing guidelines and pathways of care for the different types of EDS, as well as involvement in clinical governance and audit such as patient satisfaction surveys.
• facilitate and initiate clinical and translational research projects a part of the ongoing HRA/REC approved NEEDS (Natural history of rareEDStypes) study to improve care for patients with rare types of EDS, including international collaborations.
The appointee will be required to see both children and adults in the EDS service and will also be required to attend several MDTs. The appointee will need to show some flexibility in accordance with the demands of the service and be able to provide both face-to-face and virtual clinic consultations.
The appointee will be able to develop and provide inherited connective tissue clinics and is expected to be involved in research. The successful appointee will be involved in supervising trainees and teaching in a clinical setting. Experience of formal teaching would be welcomed. The appointee may require a degree of flexibility on the working days in the week.
Regarding Direct Clinical Care (DCC) and Supporting Professional Activities (SPA): SPA sessions should include management, clinical audit, CPD activity, research, and teaching. For this post, allocated SPA time is as a ratio of 7.5 (DCC): 2.5 (SPA). If these sessions are not occupied with such activities, it is expected that they will be allocated to clinical duties.
