About the role

We are interested in candidates that have undergone a comprehensive ear, nose and throat training and who have an interest in Paediatric Otolaryngology. A fellowship in Paediatric Otolaryngology would be desirable but not essential, since we would support development in Paediatric ENT, particularly complex Paediatric ENT.

The ENT Departments based at NNUH and the James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH) have recently been joined under the Norfolk and Waveney Acute Services Integration Project (ASIP) with NNUH being appointed as the lead provider. It is expected that there will be increasing collaboration of ENT service covering the Norfolk and Waveney area.

The Paediatric ENT service manages both general and subspecialist Ear, Nose and Throat conditions and is supported by a full range of audiological services. We provide specialist care for rare and complex conditions, including surgery for choanal atresia, upper airway disorders, chronic ear disease, bone-anchored hearing aids, and neck lumps.
