Flexible working opportunities
* Be part of the new state of the art hospital build
* Friendly Paediatric Department with good links with Community Paediatrics
* Access to the rolling hills and bustling cities on your doorstep
* New non-resident consultant on call rota
Due to a retirement in the paediatric team, we have the opportunity to recruit a consultant paediatrician with an interest in diabetes to our friendly paediatric team. The department offers a supportive and encouraging environment for professional development and a satisfying work-life balance.
Following full middle grade establishment, paediatric consultants have become non-resident at night. The trust is attractive to SAS doctors due to its CESR programme, and it is an expectation that the post holders will also support this development.
There has been a recent investment in the paediatric ward, and the unit now has a dedicated assessment area to provide ambulatory care and reduce the number of emergency admissions to our unit. Further development of ambulatory care is a key part of our future vision with system partners.
Closing date: 2nd January
Shortlisting date: w/c 6th Jan

About us
Facilities
The Childrens Unit currently has 15 beds and is shared according to need with the surgical specialities. There is a Children Assessment Room to assess and observe children. The Ward has an attached playroom and a secure external play area. The Level 1 Neonatal Unit provides care for babies born at more than 32 weeks. Due to our rural location, it is sometimes necessary to stabilise babies born less than 32 weeks or for transfer to Tertiary Unit.
The Neonatal Unit has 10 cots, up to three of which are for stabilisation of sick neonates. These are fully equipped with Draeger ventilators and incubators. The Neonatal Unit has its own blood gas machine and radiology viewing station. The Neonatal Unit has now been re-designated as a level 1 Unit.
The Child Development Service is based on the Airedale site and provides a comprehensive service. It will not form part of the appointee's duties.
