This is a full-time NHS training post in a tertiary paediatric endocrinology and diabetes service. The applicant will join a busy and progressive team delivering paediatric endocrinology and bone services within Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond.
The fellow post is funded as part of the nationally funded, highly specialised service for complex and atypical osteogenesis imperfecta.
This full-time tertiary training post is for a maximum of 2 years, designed to train the applicant to tertiary level, as defined by ESPE and BSPED (www.bsped.org.uk). However, it is not recognised for training by the Postgraduate Dean and does not form part of the paediatric run-through training programme. The applicant must have reached CCT in paediatrics or completed stage ST6 (or equivalent) in paediatric training. Therefore, this post is either a post-CCT fellowship or an Out Of Programme Experience (OOPE) post, subject to approval by the applicant's local deanery. Applicants are expected to have previous paediatric endocrine exposure, and research experience and interest. The post has two main components; 50% of the time is committed to outpatient clinic commitment covering paediatric endocrinology and metabolic bone disease, including highly specialised clinics; the other 50% is for clinical research. There is no commitment to diabetes, acute/general paediatrics, out of duty hours hospital@night or on-call involved.
