Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
We are seeking to appoint Consultant Clinical Geneticists to be based at the Bristol hub of the new South West Clinical Genetics service. This is a very exciting time to join the service as the current Peninsula and Bristol services become integrated to provide care for patients living throughout the South West region, a population of approximately 4.4 million across Gloucestershire, Bristol, West Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
Main duties of the job
As a key member of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients to stay healthy, when they need it most.
Job responsibilities
The clinical work will include regular genetics outpatient clinics, primarily in Bristol and the northern part of the region, and inpatient reviews, especially of patients receiving intensive care who need urgent Clinical Genetics assessment. Bristol Royal Children's Hospital hosts the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit for the whole South West region. The service benefits from its close relationship with the Exeter Genomics laboratory which provides the national rapid whole genome sequencing service for acutely unwell babies and children (R14 testing) and has an excellent national and international reputation. The post-holders will triage referrals and provide advice and guidance to other specialists and healthcare professionals. They will also be expected to supervise Genetic Counsellors and trainees and be involved in teaching, audit and research.
We are particularly looking to recruit additional consultants with expertise in Prenatal Genetics and Paediatric Genetics, but other sub-specialties will also be very much welcomed.
