Job overview
This is an innovative NHS post comprising 8 PAs per week across both hospitals designed to maximise collaborative working and safe, effective patient care. The post holder will join multidisciplinary teams at both sites delivering paediatric and adolescent rheumatology within Birmingham, Coventry, the West Midlands and beyond.
There are 5.75 Direct Clinical Care PAs (including a 1 in 5 on call commitment), and 2.25 supporting professional activities. The post holder will be a dedicated paediatric and adolescent rheumatology specialist who will provide the clinical rheumatology service at BWCH and UHCW and proactively support the education and clinical research programmes within the department. The job plan includes clinical sessions and supporting professional activities at both sites. Some clinical sessions at UHCW will be delivered jointly with other BWCH consultants.
Main duties of the job
The appointee will be employed by Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and as such will be accountable to that Trust for appraisal, job planning, annual leave and study leave, in close liaison with UHCW. The appointee is expected to be trained in paediatric and adolescent rheumatology and be skilled in intra-articular injections.
Clinically, the postholder will share the provision of the outpatient and inpatient service for paediatric and adolescent rheumatology at both sites (including a category B 1 in 5 on call commitment at BCH). He or she will be the primary consultant at the UHCW site. It is anticipated that patients requiring inpatient stays and investigation will be managed in collaboration with BWC where appropriate, and patients requiring access to additional tertiary care services will be transferred to BWC. The appointee would contribute jointly to the in-patient management at BWCH of UHCW patients. At BWCH, out of hours care is provided by the Hospital at Night team and at UHCW by the General Paediatric Team.
The appointee will attend and contribute to the specialised clinics at BWCH, including lupus, juvenile dermatomyositis, and scleroderma.
Clinics undertaken at BWCH will predominantly be jointly undertaken with other consultants and with the MDT. They will be a mixture of general and adolescent clinics. Clinics at UHCW are now supported by a full MDT, and most follow up work will be undertaken in an MDT clinic alongside another Consultant.
