An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Paediatric Psychosocial Service at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (RMCH) is a Specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) team for children and young people who are being treated at the Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital and other hospitals. Our team includes clinical psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists who have skills in helping children, young people and their families.
On this occasion we are offering different roles to create the Fetal Exposure to Medicines Service (FEMS). This is a newly NHS England funded pilot of a multi-disciplinary service for children and adults exposed to medications with known or suspect teratogenic properties.
This service will run initially for 18 months across Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and Newcastle University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust., MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We're creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you'll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes.
