Job summary

The Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital Foundation Trust is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, motivated individual to join the Complications of Excess Weight (CEW) service at the department of endocrinology and diabetes on a fixed term contract for 12 months initially, with the potential to extend to 24 months.

This full-time training post is designed to train the applicant in delivering care for children and young people living with obesity being part of the CEW service, a new nationally commissioned service based in our tertiary centre. However, it is not recognised for training by the Postgraduate Dean and does not form part of the paediatric run-through training programme.

The post holder must have passed the RCPCH membership exam (MRCPCH, or equivalent), and reached ST4 (or equivalent) in paediatric training. Therefore, this post is an Out Of Programme Experience (OOPE) post, subject to approval by the applicant's local deanery. Applicants should have previous paediatric endocrine exposure and research interest.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work with the MDT involved in the clinical management of children and adolescents with severe obesity and related medical complications, and alongside other specialties (for example: respiratory, liver) to formulate clinical pathways, standard operating procedures, taking clinical queries and advising on appropriate management. The successful applicant will also be involved in delivering service at regional spoke hubs for the CEW service. There will also be opportunities to strengthen clinical experience in endocrinology. The post holder will also be encouraged and supported to be involved in clinical projects and research activities. There is no commitment to acute/general paediatrics, hospital@night and on-call involved.

The successful candidate will, throughout the duration of the clinical fellow post, have a timetable that allows for protected CPD and will be supported to get involved in clinical audit. There is no on call commitment for this post.

For further information, please contact Dr Jan Idkowiak, Consultant Endocrinologist and Clinical Lead for CEW on 0121 333 8197 or via email janidkowiak@nhs.net.
