MTI Trust Doctor in Paediatrics

The closing date is 15 June 2025

Job summary

Applications are invited for a MTI Trust Doctor post in Paediatrics at the Royal Surrey Hospital. This post has been set up under the AORMC MTI scheme and as such is significantly focused on providing high quality paediatric training so it is essential that any successful applicant is prepared to fully participate with the training and assessment components of this position.

The post is for a maximum of 2 years starting from September 2025.

The paediatric department accepts referrals for all paediatric medical emergencies, children with abdominal pain and children with orbital/periorbital cellulitis and head injuries. Other surgical, orthopaedic, ophthalmologic, ENT and maxillofacial problems are referred through the relevant departments. Children requiring paediatric intensive care are transferred out following stabilisation. Most paediatric general surgery cases aged less than 5 years are transferred to the regional centre at St. Georges Hospital.

The Special Care Baby Unit (Level 1) has 12 cots of which 4 are HDU/ITU cots. We admit premature babies who are >= 31 weeks and >= 1250g. If unable to be transferred out in-utero, babies younger than this or smaller than this are transported, once stabilised, to Ashford and St Peter's Level 3 NICU or other nearby level 3 neonatal units.The Child Development Centre functions within the children's unit, sharing premises with paediatric outpatients. This is where the majority of the outpatient clinics are held.

Main duties of the job

The post-holder will work at SHO level (ST1-2) for the first 6 months and then will be expected to progress to Registrar level (ST3-8)

The post- holder will work as part of the Paediatric team, with all consultants to allow for a spread of experience.

Sub-speciality training can be provided in a number of subspecialties to suit the needs of the post-holder. Options include Paediatric Allergy, Paediatric Cardiology, Paediatric Endocrinology /Diabetes and Paediatric Gastroenterology which are well established services in the department. We are happy to consider other DGH level subspecialty experience and would welcome any enquiries regarding this.

Continuing Professional Development is encouraged and support for studying will be given to the appropriate appointee.

The post has been created with an emphasis very much on medical training and education and will allow the successful applicants to receive a balanced mixture of training and service that will mirror those of the Paediatric department's existing doctors in training.

As well as the training component this post contains an element which is based upon the provision of service to the hospital and this will include time spent working during unsociable hours including some night shifts.
