Consultant Paediatrician with specialist interest in Nephrology

The paediatric renal service provides comprehensive care for around 300 children residing in the catchment area.
Currently, the renal service comprises a consultant paediatrician with a specialisation in nephrology. The service is further supported by a visiting paediatric nephrologist from Leeds, who conducts a monthly clinic, participates in monthly Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings, and provides regular weekly support.
This collaborative approach ensures that our young patients receive the highest quality of care, benefitting from the expertise and consultation of both the local consultant and the visiting specialist. The presence of the visiting paediatric nephrologist greatly enhances the depth and breadth of knowledge available to our team, contributing to the overall development of our service.

Applications are invited for the post of a Consultant General Paediatrician with ideally a Specialist Interest in Paediatric Nephrology (however all specialty interests will be considered) at our busy secondary care service in Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
This is an exciting opportunity for a paediatrician with relevant qualifications and experience to join a team of enthusiastic General Consultant and Career Grade Paediatricians who are committed to provide a high quality service to the children of Bradford. Applicants must have excellent organisational and communication skills, be good at team work and have experience in acute inpatient and outpatient General Paediatrics.
Previous experience in area of specialty interest is desirable but not essential and an enthusiastic candidate with suitable skill set would be considered for support and training within this post.

Bradford is a fascinating and stimulating place to work in, with an increased prevalence of children with rare neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders and inherited genetic conditions.
with well-established links with colleagues in clinical genetics, neurology and metabolic disease. There is huge opportunity for research and development, with the Trusts investment in the capital development of the Bradford Institute of Health Research (BIHR). The BIHR is a unique partnership of primary and secondary care and universities, established to promote the faster translation of health research to patient benefit.
