Trust Registrar in Paediatrics | Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

We have two full-time posts for a period of 6 months from 6th March 2024 until 3rd September 2024, based at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester. These posts are middle grade paediatric (ST3 level and above) but can be adapted to suit a trainee who has completed training and wishes to develop his/her CV towards consultant application.

The post holders will work with other colleagues to provide a comprehensive paediatric service including neonatal services (level 1). There will be the opportunity to lead ward rounds and run general paediatric clinics. They will also be encouraged to be involved in and experience other aspects of the service including management and education and will be supported to attend senior management and governance meetings. Applications for part-time working would be considered. There is a resident on-call commitment.

The post holder will be allocated a Paediatric Consultant at the start of the post who will provide educational supervision and mentoring.

It is expected that the post holders will provide support and contribute to the provision of general paediatric and neonatal care at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital. They may be asked to attend other sites as required. The opportunities and experiences will be tailored to the seniority and training needs of the post holders. They will be encouraged and supervised to lead ward rounds and will have regular supervised outpatient clinics. There will also be the opportunity to develop roles in management, education and clinical governance.

There is a significant educational component to the post and the post holders will be expected to undergo appraisal and fulfil educational objectives as jointly determined with allocated educational supervisors.

The post-holders will participate in a full shift working pattern based on a seven-week cycle, including resident nights. A consultant will be available at all times for support and advice.

Each middle grade post is 'New Deal' compliant with an average working week of 48 hours.
