Emergency Department 60:40% Clinical Fellow Post (ST4+) – Paediatric Blast Injury
Founded in 2017 this is a collaboration between Save the Children UK, Imperial College London, the World Innovation Summit for Health, Bristol Royal Infirmary and Bristol Royal Hospital for Children emergency departments. This was in response to the global crisis that places millions of children worldwide at daily risk of conflict injury and the lack of paediatric specific experience and training in these areas. In 2018 the Partnership released the Paediatric Blast Injury Field Manual, a clinical resource for first responders and clinicians dealing with injured children in conflict zones.
Successful applicants will be appointed to a 60/40 clinical post at Bristol Royal Infirmary with 40% funded time to work on any of the following projects.
1. Update of the Paediatric Blast Injury Field Manual and preparation of material for digital conversion to a web based app to allow great worldwide access
2. Creation of a field pocket action card and haemorrhage control pack for first responders dealing with injured children
3. Non-pharmacological paediatric pain management research project with an aim to produce clinical resource material for care providers
4. Development of a remote paediatric conflict trauma training package for Save the Children in Afghanistan
We would also consider supporting any related project that a candidate wishes to propose.
The post will be a combination of service provision including out of hours and paid time to develop a specialist interest.
