Job overview
Applications are invited for two Medical Training Initiative Posts in the NICU department at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital.
The MTI(p) scheme enables non-UK/EEA paediatricians, with MRCPCH or other postgraduate qualifications, to undertake high quality postgraduate training in paediatrics for a maximum of 24 months, before returning to work in their home countries.
International Fellows on the MTI(p) scheme work in an RCPCH-approved clinical setting, exposing them not only to the specified area of paediatrics but also to child protection, safe prescribing and medico-legal practice.
The scheme provide Fellows with the opportunity to enhance and develop skills across a range of areas including leadership and management, developing guidelines, conducting audit and research and understanding of clinical governance. The main focus is to work in an environment with a patient-centred approach.
We encourage Fellows to engage in reflective practice and coaching/mentoring
Advert
Duties will be in the neonatal department on the Tier 2 rota. There will be a mixture of long day/night shifts [12.5 hours] and shorter day shifts. Duties will be divided between Intensive/High Dependency Care, Special and Transitional Care and the care of infants on the post-natal wards. Duties will be shared with senior trainees [ST4-8] and senior Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioners and supervision and education will be provided by Consultants.

Working for our organisation
The Department provides services for children in the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital NHS Trust. The total population is 480,000 (child population about 98,000) of whom half live around Norwich itself, and the remainder in predominantly rural communities in a very wide geographical area of central Norfolk.
The services for the newborn are centred in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with 42 cots overall and 9 intensive care cots. A transport service is provided from Cambridge to transport babies around the region. The Intensive Care service is led by a dedicated “Consultant of the Week”. There are six Consultant-led rounds a week (including weekends). A full range of intensive care is available including a full range of modes of ventilation, inhaled nitric oxide for PPHN and therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxia-ischaemia. A separate Consultant-led team is responsible for Special Care, Transitional Care, and attendance at high risk deliveries and the examination and care of babies on the post-natal ward.
