Job summary
This job would suit senior trainees nearing the end of their training or post CCT. There are two posts and the appointed fellows are expected to work together as a team to participate fully in all aspects of the Paediatric critical care, ECMO and airway services. There will be opportunities to participate in the delivery of PCC and retrieval service as well
Main duties of the job
The ECMO serviceThe Evelina ECMO service is expanding with approximately 20 ECMO runs annually accounting for 160 calendar days of ECMO. Originally set up to support cardiac surgery, the majority of ECMO cases are now respiratory and our team our pushing boundaries by supporting children as small as 2kg with venovenous ECMO. The service is co-located with the largest NICU in the UK and the largest adult respiratory ECMO service in Europe (GSTT).
As our PICU has general and cardiac patients, our ethos is to manage all ECMO referrals within Evelina so that those severe respiratory failure patients who ultimately don't require ECMO are still managed under our care. We are fully integrated within the PICU and the ECMO fellow assists the airway fellow in investigation and management of patients with airway issues and respiratory failure and vice versa.
The Airway ServiceThe paediatric critical care airway service is based within the PICU and has arisen from the need for airway interventions in a cohort of patients admitted to PICU.The majority of these have an underlying cardiac/vascular diagnosis.The team provide a bronchoscopy service to the following patients:o PICU bronchoscopies - 150/yearo Vascular airway bronchoscopies - 50/year (cardiac theatre)o Airway stents - (Cath lab) in collaboration with paediatric IRo Elective airway lists for bronchoscopy usually combined with CT scan of lungs and airways.
About us
The post will be based at the Evelina Children's Hospital. However, it is a requirement of your employment that you be prepared to work at any additional or different location owned or served by the trust, either on an on-going or temporary basis according to the demands of the service. There will be opportunity to observe the adult ECMO service based on site at St Thomas' and collaborate with the RBH paediatric ECMO team. As RBH PICU is merged with the Evelina PICU, there may be opportunity or occasion to deliver bronchoscopy at RBH as well
The Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) has 30 beds with over 1,200 admissions annually each year. The South Thames Retrieval Service operates from within the PCC and receives over 1,750 requests each year and retrieves about 900 of these patients. The unit is accredited to undertake both Year 1 and Year 2 PICM training. Candidates, who have completed their training, in their parent specialty, may wish to seek employment for 12 months.
