There will be a general OP clinic per week, in addition to PAU or Ward cover or the Neonatal Unit as needed. Instead of PAU work you may need to conduct Child Protection Medicals as needed.

You will be working with a dynamic group of consultants who support each other, flexibility will be key, and makes this role suitable for an individual who is on the specialty register but may not have Consultant level experience. There will be some on call and weekend work.
