Summary
The experience of the Paediatric Sleep Department at the Evelina is both nationally and internationally recognised. Many team members have contributed to UK and EU discussions about referral pathways, training and research across all aspects of paediatric sleep medicine. The service is one of the few in the UK to offer a lifespan approach with the adult sleep department at St Thomas. We run transitional clinics for a range of sleep disorders, and joint working extends to clinical, investigative and research domains. Our sleep laboratory facilities run by up to 25 full-time sleep physiologists operate both outpatient and inpatient studies. Where necessary we offer polysomnography with full EEG monitoring which has proven invaluable for management of some of the more complex children with both sleep disorders and epilepsy. Our vision is aligned to the US and Australian model of a holistic service, neither focussing exclusively on sleep-related breathing difficulties, nor neuro-behavioural sleep problems. Thus are referred children with narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and circadian rhythm disorders alongside children with obstructive sleep apnoea, neuromuscular or craniofacial related nocturnal breathing difficulties. We are one of the busiest units in the UK with well over 2000 studies per year. We run up to 5 elective inpatient studies per night as well as ward based ventilation titration studies and home based detailed studies. Depending on the training of the applicant it is hoped they will take an active role in research and development and to participate in the teaching programs of the department. This is an excellent opportunity to join a first class team in an active and progressive central London teaching hospital environment.
