Job summary

The Liverpool Neonatal Partnership brings together two world renowned NHS organisations, working together to provide seamless Neonatal Services for the city of Liverpool: Liverpool Women's and Alder Hey Children's Hospital NHS Foundation trusts.

Our new 44 cot Neonatal Intensive Care Unit opened on the Liverpool Women's Hospital site in Spring 2020 and a new 22 cot Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will open on the Alder Hey Children's Hospital Site in Winter 2026. This new unit will consist of single-family rooms only and be the only unit of its type in the UK.

The regional neonatal unit at Liverpool Women's Hospital has 44 cots: 12 intensive care cots, 12 high dependency cots and a 20-cot low dependency area. The unit provides a state-of-the-art facility to provide world class neonatal care and is a tertiary referral centre for the Cheshire and Mersey Neonatal Network. The unit regularly accepts referrals from beyond the network with an average admission rate of more than 1200 babies per year.

As the lead NICU for the Cheshire and Mersey Neonatal Network, areas of special responsibility include the management of babies with surgical conditions, initial care of all babies with cardiac malformations requiring neonatal intervention, and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity. The unit is one of only 2 units within the network providing intensive care for extreme preterm babies (<26 weeks gestation) and providing therapeutic hypothermia.

Main duties of the job

These are 2 x 12-month posts to start as soon in March 2027. We may be able to accommodate a slightly later start date if the successful candidate needs to apply for OOP approval from a paediatric training programme however this is not guaranteed due to the timeline for opening of the new surgical unit. Any trainees in a training programme currently who are considering these posts should discuss with their TPD as OOP applications may need submitting before the interviews take place for these posts. These are senior roles, ideally suited for anyone looking to gain experience additional clinical experience in tertiary neonatal medicine. This can be facilitated as part of a SPIN in neonatal medicine for candidates unable to achieve this within the current paediatric training programmes. These are not recognised training posts but may be taken up as an OOPE and would also be suitable for paediatric CCT holder to gain additional experience in neonatology prior to taking up a paediatric consultant post.

The posts can be adapted to individual candidates. They will primarily involve working on the tier 2 medical rota providing clinical care across the entire Liverpool Neonatal Partnership. This is likely to include the neonatal unit on the Liverpool Women's site, the low dependency unit and postnatal wards at Liverpool Women's Hospital and the neonatal unit at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
