This is an exciting opportunity to join a first-class team providing neonatal intensive care at UCLH.

We are looking for a dynamic, motivated colleague to join us as a fixed term 8PA locum for a 12 month period. This would give the successful candidate the opportunity to develop their own specialist interest, gain neonatal consultant experience and be part of an evolving team with wide ranging interests including respiratory medicine, cardiology, neurology and neurocritical care, infection, nutrition and neurodevelopment.
We would particularly invite those with experience in neonatal echocardiography and neonatal cardiology to apply, as we are looking to increase the numbers of our neonatal consultant team with cardiology experience, but this is not an essential requirement. However, anyone applying would need to be open to developing this role in post. CV required for application.
