There is double Consultant of The Week cover for the Paediatric Wards on week days..

Duties will also include participation in the on call rota (all existing full time consultant posts have 2.13 PA/week for on-call duties which includes an allocation for weekend ward rounds) and a contribution to delivering the safeguarding service for non-sexual abuse assessments. (There are separate arrangements for assessing safeguarding sexual abuse which are not part of this post).
