Senior Clinical Fellow - Paediatrics and Neonatology

Job summary

Following investment into our services, we are seeking to employ two paediatric senior clinical fellows to support the development of the team priorities and implementation of a number of exciting work programmes that are underway.

These posts will be based in acute Paediatrics with Neonatology at West Middlesex Hospital. In all work, the post-holder will be working alongside London Deanery trainees from general practice and paediatrics on a combined rota, with the same access to educational opportunities, including the daily teaching sessions and the simulation sessions.

There is a commitment to teaching and learning at all levels with an active weekly teaching programme.

Over 1500 staff across 4 hospital sites with a bed base of 296 will come together to deliver £100m+ paediatric services providing over 115,000 outpatient attendances and 16,000 elective procedures annually, with the aim of improving the health and well-being of the almost half a million children and young people who live in west London.
