Summary

This post will have general paediatric clinics per week (excluding hot weeks when only ward duties are undertaken). The hot slots on general paediatric clinics are an exciting development aiming to provide rapid consultant assessment of urgent GP referrals, referrals from ED and consultant review of patients seen on the admissions units out of hours. Thispost will include clinics delivered at Burnley currently, although clinics may also be required at other peripheral sites. Existing consultants in East Lancashire have expertise and interests in different specialty branches of paediatrics. The aim is to have a lead consultant for all specialty areas who can undertake independent and/or joint care of complex patients with nearby tertiary centres. Inparticular we provide expertise in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Respiratory Medicine including a large Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis service, Epilepsy, Neurodisability, Nephrology and Haematology. The department is also heavily involved in medical education at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
