There is a dedicated leadership training programme in the trust for development of new consultant with strong ethos around coaching and mentoring.

Main Duties: 

You will be predominately responsible for community based paediatric care within the Blackpool area.

You will cover a catchment of schools within the local area. You’ll work with children in school age community clinics, as well accepting referrals from the neurodevelopmental team.

You’ll also attend the child developmental centre twice a week, contributing to the pre-school age service and therefore offering a varied clinical caseload as part of this exciting new opportunity.

Time is offered for patient related communication, discussion, and administration, as well as time for discussion panels and MDT. This will involve evaluation of a case load of new and follow up patients within a multidisciplinary fashion.

The Hospital:
