Locum Paediatric Specialty Doctor

You will join an enthusiastic and friendly department, which is an integral part of the Division of Women and Children at the QEH. The team pride themselves on being a very caring and supportive department; the consultants always work as part of the team and are readily available to give advice, practical assistance and hands on acute care. The department provides services for the King's Lynn area based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Wisbech area based at the North Cambridgeshire Hospital. All the inpatient beds are at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The Children's Ward has 22 beds and a 5 bedded co-located Paediatric Assessment Unit. The neonatal unit is equipped for 3 neonatal intensive care/high dependency cots and has a total complement of 12 cots. The unit policy is to care for infants of 27- 28 weeks and over including ventilation but to transfer antenatally, if possible, infants less than 27 weeks gestation. The neonatal work is in close collaboration with the regional Neonatal Network and the nearest level 3 Neonatal Unit is at the Norfolk \& Norwich University Hospital in Norwich. There is an on-site purpose-built children's centre for outpatients and child development work for all general paediatric outpatient activity. Additional outpatient clinics are held in Wisbech at the North Cambridgeshire Hospital. Visiting Consultants come regularly to the hospital. Subspecialty training is strongly encouraged and supported in the department. To ensure the continued delivery of high-quality care to patients within the trust and to contribute to the further development of the Paediatric service. To further develop clinical knowledge and skills in Paediatrics to aid preparation for working as a Consultant Paediatrician. The training opportunities will mirror those given to Specialist Trainees with support from departmental teaching, career development, training budget, Quality Improvement Projects (QIP), participation in outpatient elective activity and allocation of a clinical supervisor to support career development. Advanced Life Support (ALS) can also be organised at the Trust but is desirable to have before starting. There's never been a more exciting time to join Team QEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken. Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond. At the QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs. We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships. We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
