Summary
A Vacancy at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
An exciting opportunity for a Tier 2 (ST4+/Registrar equivalent) to work within the Neonatology department at Princess Royal Hospital, Telford has arisen. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of our friendly neonatal team delivering high quality care for around 4000 deliveries per year. This post includes duties within the neonatal services only and there is no commitment to Paediatrics, including out of hours cover. Contribution to an out of hours on call rota for neonates is core to this role.
• Day to day participation in clinical activities with direct consultant support both day and night.
• Participation in departmental teaching, audit, and educational activities.
• To be engaged with personal clinical audit and evidence-based medicine projects.
• Will be expected to participate in county-wide audit and CPD meetings.
• To develop enhanced clinical skills, especially in the assessment and management of acutely ill neonate.
• To have excellent team-working skills with the abilities and professional attitude to work well in a multi-professional team.
• To deliver clinical and quality targets agreed both nationally and locally with clinical teams and commissioners.
• To follow patients throughout their clinical pathways.
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) is the main provider of acute hospital services for around half a million people in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and mid Wales.
Encompassing some of the most picturesque parts of England and Wales, the Trust’s catchment stretches from the Cambrian Mountains in the west, to Newport and the fringes of the Black Country in the east. The main towns include: Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Market Drayton, Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Whitchurch (in Shropshire); Newport, Telford and Wellington (in Telford & Wrekin); and Newtown and Welshpool (in Powys) – all beautiful and unique.
Our main service locations are the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) in Telford and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) in Shrewsbury which are located 20 minutes’ drive apart. Together they provide 99% of our activity. Both hospitals provide a wide range of acute hospital services including accident & emergency, outpatients, diagnostics, inpatient medical care and critical care.
Neonatal staffing is entirely separate at Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 (consultant) levels, with no cross-covering of Paediatrics.
The post-holder will be expected to contribute to the Tier 2 full-shift rota, with prospective cover for annual and study leave. The rota is compliant with the terms and conditions of the 2016 Junior Doctor Contract and WTD and has been carefully designed to maximise training opportunities for doctors whilst maintaining a safe and efficient service, with an even spread of long days and nights.
