We seek to employ a senior clinical fellow at specialty doctor level covering general paediatrics and neonatology in our busy secondary care service for a period of 12 months.

Support will be provided by a team of Consultants experienced in CESR with regular appraisals.

This post is required to cover gaps in the rota. We undertake separate rotas in general and neonatal paediatrics at Consultant, Middle grade and SHO level.
