The programme consists of structured rotation through the 2 centres where bespoke educational supervision and support will be provided depending on the needs of the candidate. Both services provide care to a wide variety of patients including premature babies, surgical conditions and those with complex medical needs. There will be access to learning opportunities across clinical care, research, governance, teaching and risk management with a focus on helping candidates achieve the competencies and sign-offs they need for the Portfolio Pathway (previously called CESR pathway).

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital is internationally reputable for their research excellence. C&W is home to the National Neonatal Research Database used for national and international population neonatal epidemiological studies.

Applicants must have middle-grade experience in Neonatology and be able to demonstrate competency in neonatal resuscitation, intubation and management of ventilated infants. The post holder will gain extensive experience in managing sick surgical infants.

The post would suit both UK trainees seeking out of programme experience/training to enhance their level 2/3 neonatal training and international trainees seeking a training opportunity that parallels UK grid training.
