Clinical Fellow in Paediatric Trauma and Orthopaedics

This post will provide subspecialty training in the generality of Paediatric Orthopaedics and Paediatric Orthopaedic Trauma. While the bulk of the training will be in Paediatric Orthopaedics (Elective and Trauma), exposure to Paediatric Spinal Deformity and Paediatric Orthopaedic Oncology, particularly in theatre, will also be achieved. The post is suitable for a senior trainee with FRCS (Orth) or equivalent who wishes to pursue a career in Paediatric Orthopaedics. The post may also suit CESR trainees requiring a period of exposure to Paediatric Orthopaedics to satisfy the requirements for entry onto the specialist register but for whom Paediatric Orthopaedics is not a career aspiration. Depending upon numbers of applicants, consideration may also be given to more junior orthopaedic trainees, post-MRCS or equivalent, who can demonstrate sufficient experience in orthopaedics to justify appointment to the post. The successful candidate will spend most of their time at the Birmingham Children's Hospital site but may be required to attend out-reach clinics, with the Paediatric Orthopaedic Consultants, at one or more of the surrounding hospitals at which we provide services. The postholder will participate in the 1 in 7 non-resident orthopaedic middle grade out-of-hours on call rota at BCH.
