Main duties of the job

Specialty Doctor in Paediatrics

The Paediatric service delivers care at both Queen's and King George Hospitals.

Queen's hospital has a 30 bedded inpatient ward called Tropical Lagoon which admits predominately emergency admissions from the Paediatric Emergency Department. This is generally the more acute site for paediatric admissions. With a maximum capacity of 15 spaces a Children and Young People Assessment Unit (CYPAU) is located next to Children's ED, on the ground floor at Queen's Hospital.

Tropical Bay, also on the Queen's site, is a 12 bedded day care facility which opens Monday to Friday providing a variety of services - day surgery, ward attenders, paediatric oncology shared care service, haematology transfusions, neonatal jaundice service and MRI under sedation

About us

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

As we recover from Covid-19, we're proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive forour teams to innovate and change.

We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.

We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We're also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
