Locum Consultant Paediatrician with special interest In Urgent Care

at  Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust

Upwards of 60,000 children visit our emergency departments every year. This requires significant paediatrician input into providing care for these children. The acuity and demand is such that the traditional model of consultants managing both a chronic caseload and supporting the assessment and treatment of acutely unwell children arriving at the front door is more challenging and there is great opportunity for sub-specialisation in the emergency pathway and ambulatory care.
The successful candidate will join a team of paediatricians and neonatologists providing Child Health services to our local population of approximately 200,000 children. Providing General Paediatric expertise to our outpatient, inpatient, daycare and Emergency Department service, you will work as an acute paediatrician with colleagues to support the urgent care aspects of the service.
The consultant medical team works across both of our hot sites, Queen’s Hospital, Romford, and King George Hospital, Ilford, and supports junior medical staff to deliver care to patients in all our patient settings.
