Description
Role Summary
We are delighted to offer consultant position for the suitable candidate to join our integrated team at RMCH.
Job plans will encompass consultant of the week and on call out of hours commitment. The on-call commitment is 1 in every 6 weeks.
Outpatient clinic work is based at RMCH. Weekly MDT and surgical conference are hosted by Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and held online.
We are looking for motivated and ambitious candidates with a strong background in paediatric cardiology.
The post will attract 10 programmed activities per week (8.5 PA direct clinical care and 1.5 PA supporting professional activities) as per Trust Policy for consultants.
The successful candidate will provide a Consultant of the Week service at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital one week in five (hot week). During “Hot week” all routine clinics/specialist sessions are cancelled and Consultants are expected to do daily ward rounds on all cardiac patients, see emergency patients and run two “hot week” clinics and one post-operative clinic per week on call.
The Post Holder will work closely with all members of the department to deliver a world class paediatric cardiology service. They will collaborate and work closely with all other specialties in the hospital.
The Post Holder will be encouraged to develop special interests and previous experience is an advantage.
The clinical aspects of the posts will be overseen by the Specialist Medicine Directorate within the Division of Medicine at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
Joint paediatric cardiac surgical meetings are undertaken every Thursday morning hosted at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and all consultants attend these meetings to discuss and present their cases.
Cross-cover arrangements are in place to cover patients during times of leave. It is expected that the post holders will work closely with consultant colleagues to ensure clear handover and continuity of care for all patients.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of over £3bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
