Job description

Overview

The Department of Paediatric Surgery and Urology consists of 14 Consultant Paediatric Surgeons and Urologists. We serve a regional population of over 5 million, as well as receiving supra-regional referrals for complex cases. In addition, two Paediatric Hepatobiliary and Transplant surgeons provide their training expertise. The placement offers exposure to a wide range of Paediatric Surgery and Urology at tertiary level. Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust was formed in 2017 as the first specialist Women and Children’s Trust in the country. It comprises two hospitals: Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Birmingham Women’s Hospital, as well as Forward Thinking Birmingham, a mental health partnership for Birmingham. The Children’s Hospital moved to a new site at Steelhouse Lane in the centre of the city in May 1998, marking the culmination of a long history of planning for a new Hospital to replace the overcrowded facilities at its previous home in Ladywood. The relocation involved a £30 million redevelopment of the previous Birmingham General Hospital site and has created a large, multidisciplinary, dedicated Children’s Hospital with a capacity for almost 300 beds. In 2018 a new development called Waterfall House opened, which includes provision of theatres, a rare disease centre housing outpatient rooms and haematology and oncology inpatient facility. The hospital includes a 31-bed intensive care unit and seventeen operating theatres. Four theatres have integrated laparoscopic stacks to facilitate advanced minimally invasive surgery. In addition to upgraded clinical facilities, the site includes a parent accommodation block (Ronald McDonald House), the James Brindley Hospital School and a new Education Centre.
