Consultant in Paediatric Bone and Endocrinology and Diabetes

Endocrinology services for children and young people have steadily developed over the
last 12 years along with other tertiary services. The service is supported by 3 dedicated
clinical nurse specialists (2.8 WTE), an endocrine fellow, an endocrinology psychologist and
an endocrine coordinator. We offer a full range of day case investigations which are
undertaken on the day case unit within ELCH. Over 50% of referrals are tertiary both from
within ELCH and from other trusts. There are strong links with general paediatrics and the
other tertiary sub-specialties at ELCH, including orthopaedics, neurosciences and spinal
surgery, cardiology, nephrology, urology, rheumatology, PICU, metabolic, haematology,
dental services, neonatology, respiratory, paediatric ophthalmology, Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry and community paediatrics. Existing joint clinics include, renal, urology,
haematology, gynaecology, DSD, Neuro endocrine tumour and endocrine transition clinics.
The team works closely with the genetics department for inherited endocrine disorders and
as a result is a regional referral centre. When required, there is access to endocrine surgery.
The new consultant is expected to actively develop and strengthen the endocrine outreach
service alongside the existing team. They will undertake whole day outreach clinics once
every two months at one of the hospitals affiliated with ELCH in the South Thames region.

Working for our organisation
Every year, ELCH cares for more than 95,000 children and young people in hospital and in the community. ELCH carries out more than 107,000 outpatient appointments each year. On average, we see more than 400 children and young people every day for an outpatient appointment at the hospital. More than 25,000 children are treated in our dedicated children's Emergency department. We see an average of 80 children every day for a planned investigation, treatment or operation. ELCH has a broad reaching transformational programme entitled Fit for the Future which aims to enhance patient and family care and also has major capital plans to develop additional physical capacity to meet this demand.

Our community services include health visiting, school nursing and support for families of children with long-term conditions.
Our adult community services teams deliver care at the heart of the local communities we serve, working in partnership with GPs, local authorities and other healthcare and voluntary sector organisations. Working with our partners in Lambeth and Southwark, we are focusing on new ways of working to improve care for local patients.
In February 2021 the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, bringing together world-leading expertise in the care and research of heart and lung disease. Our merger provides a once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting, world-renowned heart and lung centre, providing the highest quality care for patients and conducting world-leading research.
