Paediatric Consultant in Neonatology and Paediatric Dermatology

The post is subject to the terms and conditions of the Trust which reflect the national consultant contract (England) as supplemented by the Trusts own terms and conditions. The appointee will be expected to work within the facilities available to the Group and any new service developments are subject to the provision of necessary resources within the Trust. There is an active appraisal and development programme, and all consultant staff will take part in this process. The post holder must be fully registered with the General Medical Council with a licence to practise and is advised to maintain up to date membership of a recognised medical defence organisation. The appointee will be required to live within a distance that allows safe discharge of all clinical commitments and no more than a 10-mile distance from the base (unless there is prior agreement with the Medical Director) or 30 minutes travelling of your base hospital. We welcome applications from suitable candidates who for
personal or other valid reasons would prefer to work part time; if such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed with the Trust on a personal basis in consultation with consultant colleagues. The successful candidate is expected to be aware of local policies and procedures and comply with the standing orders and standing financial instructions of the Trusts. Consultant appointments are made to the University Hospital Birmingham NHS Trust as a whole; as services are developed and changed, the base of posts may alter and any employee of the Trust will be expected, within an agreed clinical strategy, to move his/her sessions as the service requires. Your attention is drawn to the fact that the post advertised includes routine evening and weekend working as part of the working arrangements and any applicant automatically agrees to undertake such work; the specific scheduling of such activities would be subject to further discussion and may be agreed
at a later date in the future. This includes a move to 7 day/24 hour working in accordance with Trust governance and commissioning requirements. Your attention is drawn to the confidential nature of information collected within the NHS. The unauthorised use or disclosure of patient or other personal information is a dismissible offence and in the case of computerised information, could result in a prosecution for an offence or action for civil damages under the Data Protection Act 1998. The appointment is subject to pre-employment health screening.
