Please refer to the Job description for Detailed job description and main responsibilities for PAEDIATRIC CRITICAL CARE AIRWAY and ECMO FELLOW
This job would suit senior trainees nearing the end of their training or post CCT. There are two posts and the appointed fellows are expected to work together as a team to participate fully in all aspects of the Paediatric critical care, ECMO and airway services. There will be opportunities to participate in the delivery of PCC and retrieval service as well
The ECMO serviceThe Evelina ECMO service is expanding with approximately 20 ECMO runs annually accounting for 160 calendar days of ECMO. Originally set up to support cardiac surgery, the majority of ECMO cases are now respiratory and our team our pushing boundaries by supporting children as small as 2kg with venovenous ECMO. The service is co-located with the largest NICU in the UK and the largest adult respiratory ECMO service in Europe (GSTT).
As our PICU has general and cardiac patients, our ethos is to manage all ECMO referrals within Evelina so that those severe respiratory failure patients who ultimately don't require ECMO are still managed under our care. We are fully integrated within the PICU and the ECMO fellow assists the airway fellow in investigation and management of patients with airway issues and respiratory failure and vice versa.
