Job Description Text INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated paediatrician (ST6 or above) with an interest in Paediatric Immunology and Infectious diseases to join Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Childrens Hospital, as a Paediatric Immunology and Infectious Diseases Fellow for a period of 12 months. This post would be suitable for a paediatric doctor in training requesting an Out of Programme Pause, who would like to train in the care of children and young people with these conditions. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic trainee to gain experience and develop clinical skills in Paediatric Immunology & Infectious Diseases that could contribute to Paediatric Infectious Diseases SPIN competencies. Leeds Childrens Hospital hosts more specialities under one roof than any other Childrens Hospital in the UK bar Great Ormond Street Hospital, including PICU, paediatric neurology and neurosurgery (including non-syndromic craniofacial surgery), paediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, paediatric hepatology and nephrology, including liver and renal transplants, paediatric gastroenterology, paediatric haematology and oncology, including bone marrow transplantation for malignant and non-malignant haematology, paediatric respiratory medicine, paediatric rheumatology, paediatric general surgery including thoracic surgery, orthopaedics including spinal surgery and regional major trauma centre designation, paediatric ENT, level 3 neonatology including neonatal surgery, paediatric endocrinology, paediatric allergy, and busy general paediatrics. The range of infection issues generated by this breadth of specialities presents fantastic PIID learning opportunities. The current Paediatric Infectious Diseases service provides inpatient consultations, regional telephone advice, weekly TB clinics, fortnightly HIV clinics, weekly general infection clinics, with input into the Childrens Hospital infection prevention and control team, and trust wide antimicrobial stewardship group. We have a clinical nurse specialist in paediatric HIV, and there is a quarterly young adult HIV clinic. Paediatric immunology covers inpatient consults, support for children and young people post BMT in Newcastle, support and training for CYP receiving subcutaneous immunoglobulin therapy, and a monthly multispeciality primary immunodeficiency clinic, supported by adult immunology and visiting consultants from our supraregional quaternary paediatric immunology centre in Newcastle. Children with recurrent infections without strong suspicion of primary immunodeficiency are also seen in the general infection clinic. Two clinical nurse specialists support the service. This post will be clinical with the immunology and infectious diseases team during daytime working with a full on-call commitment to general paediatrics. The post-holder will take part in the general paediatric on call rota (currently 1 in 9) and work alongside two other registrar level doctors to cover the medical inpatients in the hospital. There is a separate rota for the paediatric emergency department and the paediatric intensive care unit which the post-holder will not be expected to cover.
