Job overview
We would like to invite applications for a full-time, 10 programmed activities (PA) locum posts, working with 7 other paediatric nephrology consultants, and an extensive multidisciplinary team providing a comprehensive tertiary nephrology service to the West Midlands. This is a 6-month fixed post in the first instance.
Main duties of the job
The appointee will share in the provision of a regional service including: regular responsibility for emergency admissions, ward consultations, telephone advice, booked admissions for investigations and day cases. These responsibilities occur during the week on-call (approx. 1:6 or about 8½ weeks in a year). During the on-call week the on-call consultant has no regular clinic commitments so will undertake business ward rounds every day. The on-call service is purely for nephrology and the service covers nephrology for the whole of the West Midlands, as above. The post holder will be asked to undertake regular outreach clinics in consultation with the team, not more frequently than 1per month.
