We are delighted to advertise for a permanent specialist doctor in paediatric intensive care medicine at Southampton Children’s Hospital. This is a new role, with a particular focus on providing additional support to the PICU team for children with complex needs, long stay patients and supporting our rotational resident doctors with induction and training, alongside the PICU consultant body. Time will be split between these roles, the regional transport service and the PICU. 

Southampton PICU is a 16 bedded mixed intensive care unit admitting around 1000 patients each year. We are the regional referral centre for Wessex and run the combined Southampton Oxford retrieval team (SORT) service for the Wessex / Oxford network, moving around 500 critically ill and injured children per year.

Our case mix includes cardiac, ECMO, neonatal and neurosurgical cases as well as the full range of general and paediatric sub-speciality work. We are the Wessex paediatric major trauma centre, with a dedicated paediatric emergency department on site.
