Applications are invited for two full-time posts in the NICU department at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Post one is 12 months, post two is for 6 months.
The selected candidate(s) will work as part of the junior grade team within NICU and will be responsible for clinical care of patients, the recording of notes (including Badger/SEND entries), communication with parents and colleagues, and all other responsibilities of a junior doctor in the department.
Duties will be in the neonatal department on the Tier 2 rota. There will be a mixture of long day/night shifts [12.5 hours] and shorter day shifts. Duties will be divided between Intensive/High Dependency Care, Special and Transitional Care, and the care of infants on the post-natal wards. Duties will be shared with senior trainees [ST4-8] and senior Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioners, and supervision and education will be provided by Consultants. Although the post is not formally recognised for specialist training by the East of England Deanery, the incumbent will have an educational supervisor and access to the training opportunities afforded to other doctors in training in the department.
