The post is available from August 2026 for a period of 6 to 12 months offering advanced sub-specialist training in Paediatric Anaesthesia. The post is based at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow: a leading Paediatric training centre in the UK with access to all specialities including cardiac, craniofacial, neurosurgery, complex airway, cleft and pain, in addition to a high neonatal workload. Sub-interests in simulation teaching, wellbeing and eco-anaesthesia are now being offered with dedicated SPA time. Research, audit and quality improvement are encouraged. This is an exciting and challenging clinical post for those wishing to have a major interest in paediatric anaesthesia in the future, be it in a tertiary centre or district general hospital. Fellowship can be tailored to accommodate special interests. Applicants MUST hold Certificate of Completion of Specialist training in Anaesthesia or equivalent on starting the post. These posts are not suitable for applicants wishing to pursue the MTI route. Please do not apply if you will not hold a CCT in anaesthetics on starting.

Applicants who have not undertaken a UK foundation programme within 3.5 years of the advertised post start date, you may be asked to submit a Certificate of Readiness to Enter Specialty Training (CREST).

Flexible working will be included as a topic for discussion during the recruitment process.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application, but your answers must be your own.

• Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
• Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
• Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
