Exciting opportunity for a Consultant Neonatologist at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, Greater Manchester.
Hours: Full time (10 PAs per week)
An exciting opportunity has become available for a substantive Consultant post in Neonatology to join a dynamic team of nursing and medical staff and work on a well-resourced and new NICU. There are plans to expand the current consultant workforce in the next 6-12 months.
Main duties of the job
From November 2011 Bolton became one of the three Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Greater Manchester with combined 36 cots (9 Intensive Care, 7 High Dependency, 19 Special Care) and catering to a maternity unit with delivery of around 6000 babies per year, with a developing tertiary obstetric service.
Our transitional care ward is expanding and we have successfully implemented evidence based recent advances into our practice. We have a reputation for being a supportive unit for trainees and won the PAFTA award for the best training unit in the North West 2021-22.
About us
Bolton is one of the largest district general hospitals in Greater Manchester and has a long tradition of delivering neonatal intensive care. As part of the ongoing reconfiguration of neonatal services in Greater Manchester, the neonatal service moved into a purpose-built new unit in October 2010, part of a £20 million investment in new or expanded neonatal, maternity and children's units at the hospital.
