- Specialist Neonatal and Paediatric Surgery
- Paediatric Urology
- Paediatric ENT
- Paediatric Plastic Surgery
- Paediatric Orthopaedics
The vast majority of time will be spent working within the parent speciality during any given six-month period, but post holders would be expected to cross cover other specialties when required.
There is inevitable variation in the pattern of work between departments, but the post holders will be responsible for the admission and ward management of elective cases including preparation for theatre and post-operative care. They are expected to be available to assist in theatre during operation lists and to be available to be trained as appropriate. The Trust does not have an Accident and Emergency department but there are regular emergency admissions.
All junior staff have the opportunity to attend Outpatient clinics. Doctors in training receive support and supervision from both the surgical and general paediatric consultants in the care of the complex inpatient population.
