Fixed clinical sessions providing neonatal intensive care, neonatal high dependency care and neonatal special care with resident nights on call at Liverpool Women's Hospital, as well as neonatal high dependency care at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. The postholder will be expected to undertake follow-up of babies in outpatients, and joint antenatal counselling in the fetal medicine unit. These shifts are distributed over a 30-week cycle in an annualised PA pattern. All consultants work on the same rota.

Liverpool Women's Hospital provides acute care for intensive care and high dependency babies in mixed acuity rooms. There are two consultants on for acute care between 08.15 and 17.15 on weekdays and 14.30 on weekend days. Thereafter there is one resident consultant until 20.30 with handover to the resident night consultant 20.00-08.30.

There is a consultant present on the Alder Hey unit from 08.30 until 16.30 on weekdays, and 14.30 on weekend days. It is anticipated the consultant cover will extend with enhanced consultant workforce. Alder Hey sessions involve morning ward rounds on the Neonatal Surgical Unit and review of surgical neonatal patients on the Paediatric Intensive Care and High Dependency units.
