The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital is the largest Children’s Hospital in the UK. It has a large General Paediatric Department for the local population and all tertiary specialities which cover the wider region. The hospital is within the same site as St Mary’s Hospital, Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary, allowing easy transition from neonatal care to Paediatric care and then to adult care. The specialties all work well together and with the Paediatric Emergency Department, and patient records are electronic which helps to coordinate care.

The posts are suitable for doctors who have completed at least four months of Paediatric training at level FY2 or above. Each department has resident doctors at two tiers, covering patients from 8 am to 4 pm. Out of hours an on‑call rota covers inpatients and acute admissions, including evenings, weekends and nights.
