An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within the Nottingham Neonatal Service . Applications are invited for a Senior Neonatal Clinical and Simulation Fellow, for a period of 12 months. Successful applicants will have an exciting experience working as a middle grade neonatal doctor in Nottingham Neonatal.
These posts will help with safe transition of the recently expanded Neonatal intensive care unit at Queens Medical Centre, which happened in 2024.
This experience should leave candidates well placed for a successful application to join a national training scheme in Paediatrics, or to prepare for GRID applications in Neonatology during a break from Paediatric training, or for candidates wishing to have senior neonatal experience before taking a consultant post. It would also provide the opportunity to revise and enhance neonatal skills post-CCT in preparation for Consultant posts.
This post is based in the neonatal service of Nottingham University Hospitals and will involve working on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at either City campus or Queens medical centre campus, as we provided cover over both sites.
Nottingham is the lead neonatal centre for the north of the East Midlands Operational Delivery Network (EM-ODN) with two neonatal units providing tertiary neonatal care.
Neonatal Intensive Care
There will be plentiful scope to consolidate practical procedures and clinical skills relevant to tertiary neonatal intensive care. These will include but not be limited to: airway management and intubation, peripheral arterial cannulation, umbilical catheterisation, intercostal drains, long-line insertion, cranial ultrasound and echocardiography. Experience will be gained using varied ventilation strategies and inhaled nitric oxide.
Neonatal simulation
The position provides an opportunity to have tertiary neonatal experience as well as 25% protected time for
simulation and patient safety experience. The fellow will have an opportunity to build skills in simulation, debrief and education. There is an established simulation program that offers in situ, classroom, small group and larger programme simulations. In addition to refining their facilitation skills, the fellow will be encouraged
to explore peer observation modalities for use amongst our simulation faculty to further their skills and abilities
in debrief in particular.
To understand the role in more detail, please read the attached job description and person specification documents.
All activities between the two units are organised on a “whole service” basis including junior doctors’ training, neonatal grand rounds, the Nottingham Neonatal Transport Service, clinical policy and guidelines, audit, clinical research and clinical governance. The Passport to Health Scheme for determining outcomes at follow up and combined Annual Report demonstrate that the service views itself as a whole. Our charitable Trust apportions donations equally across the two sites.
Nottingham Neonatal Service enjoys a high reputation amongst neonatal nurses. We have recently completed a review of the whole nursing structure, with an emphasis on the development of competency-based practice.

Experience will be gained using varied ventilation strategies and inhaled nitric oxide.
There are numerous opportunities to gain experience in Neonatal Intensive Care Medicine as part of the clinical component of this role, including care of the extremely premature infant, stabilisation and transport of neonates with cardiac conditions and after PDA ligation, care of neonates with surgical conditions including gastroschisis, spina bifida and NEC, therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, nephrology shared-care cases of complexity, and parallel planning with palliative care. There may also be
opportunities appropriate to the level of the fellow’s experience in antenatal counselling of high-riskpregnancies, and follow-up including neurodevelopmental clinics.
