It is the only PICU in the East of England region and it is a PICM Grid Training Unit, well known as a centre of excellence, a stronghold in research, trials and neuroscience. Trainees from other specialties who want to boost their paediatric critical care experience rotate to this unit with great feedback and many learning opportunities. PaNDR is a newly established service that serves the region of East of England (EoE).
This Service is co-located with the existing Neonatal Service based at Addenbrookes Hospital and serves 15 large non-paediatric specialist district general hospitals in addition to Addenbrookes Hospital.

The post holder will participate on the Middle Grade rota which is a full shift pattern and regulated by the European working time directive (EWTD). Support for study and professional leaves are built in the job plan and participation in research and audit activities is strongly encouraged, although the training opportunities associated with this post will be equal to those for the Specialty Registrars in the department.
