Fellowship in Paediatric Trauma and Critical Care

(ST7 level and above Equivalent)

Applications are invited to apply for the above post at the Children’s Hospital Oxford.

Candidates are invited to contact Dr Avishay Sarfatti at Oxford University Hospital (OUH) PCC.

Post commencing from March 2027 fixed term for 12 months

Oxford University Hospital (OUH) is a paediatric major trauma centre and manages paediatric trauma patents presenting locally, or transferred to OUH following presentation to one of the district general hospitals in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We expect that the trauma fellow will be involved throughout the patient journey at OUH, from stabilization of the patient in ED, through admission to paediatric critical care and the rehabilitation pathway as needed. Their day time work will be focused on the trauma pathway and its delivery and development.

The Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) unit provides intensive and high dependency care to the local population and children of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire as well as further afield.  It comprises an eight-bedded Intensive Care Area and an adjacent eight-bedded High Dependency ward

Paediatric Intensive Care retrievals from the Oxford region are managed on a 24-hour basis jointly with Southampton General Hospital under the umbrella of the Southampton Oxford Retrieval Team (SORT). SORT provides support to over 15 District General Hospitals in the combined South Central Region. Successful applicants will work out of hours as a retrieval fellow, undertaking independent retrievals of critically ill children between the DGHs and OUH.
