Main duties of the job
Scope of the role
This is an established post in Paediatric Gastrointestinal Allergy within the Gastroenterology Mucosal Immunology Unit at ST6\+ level or equivalent trained Paediatrician. The post is for a 12\-month period. Many of our fellows stay longer to work in other areas of gastroenterology, or to pursue research.
This post would be suitable as a post\-certification (“Post\-CCT”) role, to develop subspeciality skills in Paediatric GI Allergy and Mucosal Immunology.
The post provides a unique and exciting opportunity for training in one of the largest units in the UK with over 250 GI allegy patients and 450 IBD patients. We are a UK recognised training centre in Paediatric Gastroenterology by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH). This is not a HEE recognised post.
The post holder will be one of a large multidisciplinary team delivering high quality clinical care to patients with GI Allergy or immunology related conditions, such as allergic and immune mediated and genetic enteropathies. As part of the out of hours on call rota, the post holder will be providing care within our specialist gastroenterology ward, and as part of our outreach service to children elsewhere within the hospital, providing continuity for patients and families as they progress through treatment.
