Trust Fellow in Paediatric Critical Care Transport (NECTAR)

We are delighted to be able to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated, ambitious individual to join our well-integrated team at NECTAR (North East and Cumbria Transfer and Retrieval). Applications are invited for Clinical Fellows in Paediatric Critical Care Transport. The post is for a period of 12 months.

The Paediatric NECTAR clinical fellow posts (ST3+ equivalent) require 2 years prior postgraduate training in PICU/ critical care / anaesthesia / paediatrics (including a minimum of 3 months post-foundation critical care experience) and candidates must already have basic Anaesthesia Competencies.Regional PICU at Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust acts as the base unit for the regional NECTAR Transport team. It provides regional intensive care for medical patients and supra-regional services for children with surgical, neurosurgical and cardiac problems including ECMO & heart transplant., This is an exciting opportunity for a one-year fellowship for a suitably qualified candidate to receive training and experience in paediatric retrieval. This post is predominantly to cover the paediatric service, but opportunities are available to work within the adult service when time allows too. The post would be ideally suited to someone interested in paediatric or adult intensive care medicine, paediatric or adult emergency medicine, anaesthesia, or prehospital medicine.

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you.
