What you’ll be doing

This position provides a unique stable training opportunity for an Advanced Trainee in Paediatrics to remain in one department for a 12-month period.

It is a great opportunity to obtain experience in a supervised role that incorporates acute and ambulatory patient care, neonatal special care, the provision of education and clinical research involvement.

The position provides an environment suitable for significant general Paediatric experience managing sick children in a very active metropolitan hospital. This is a single 12-month position that will see the AT work on a roster with two emergency trainees and two paediatric trainees on 3-to-6-month placements. Shifts are 10 hours with 12-hour weekends shifts covering Days, Evening and Nights with responsibilities to the ward, Special Care Nursery Birthing Unit, post-natal Ward and supporting care in the Emergency department. A planned new acute care and ambulatory clinic will provide an opportunity to develop outpatient management skills and meet the college requirement for new outpatient assessment.

The St George Hospital Paediatric team is cohesive and collaborative and provides mentorship and supervision with frequent training and educational opportunities, along with clinical teaching of Phase 2 and 3 medical students from UNSW and junior medical staff. Participation in weekly teaching and learning opportunities including journal club, grand rounds, and scenario-based training are encouraged.

There are 6 staff specialist paediatricians (3.5FTE) as well as an academic staff specialist (0.5FTE) within the department who hold accreditation with the RACP as supervisors for basic and advanced paediatric training. The paediatric department refers to the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network for tertiary cases unsuitable for management locally.
