Locum Consultant in Paediatric Nephrology
NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant
Flexible working:
Flexible working arrangements may be considered and discussions with the recruiting manager regarding this are encouraged.
Job overview
We would like to invite applications for 2x full-time, 10 programmed activities (PA) locum posts, working with five other paediatric nephrology consultants, and an extensive multidisciplinary team providing a comprehensive tertiary nephrology service to the West Midlands. These are 6-month fixed posts, with the potential to extend to 12 months. These posts will be advertised as substantive positions following the locum period.
Main duties of the job
The appointee will share in the provision of a regional service including: regular responsibility for emergency admissions, ward consultations, telephone advice, booked admissions for investigations and day cases. These responsibilities occur during the week on-call (approx. 1:6 or about 8½ weeks in a year). During the on-call week the on-call consultant has no regular clinic commitments so will undertake business ward rounds every day. The on-call service is purely for nephrology and the service covers nephrology for the whole of the West Midlands, as above. The post holder will be asked to undertake regular outreach clinics in consultation with the team, not more frequently than 1per month.
