An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated trainee paediatrician (ST4 or above) with an interest in Nephrology to join Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as a Nephrology Fellow for Leeds Childrens Hospital (LCH).

The doctor in training would gain experience in all areas of the Paediatric Nephrology Speciality Curriculum including management of Acute Kidney Injury (peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis & continuous venous haemodialysis/filtration) and chronic kidney disease (pre-dialysis, peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis & transplantation ~ 12 paediatric transplants/yr). General paediatric renal services include the investigation and management of children with Nephrotic/ Nephritic syndrome, urinary tract infection, congenital anomalies of the urinary tract, renovascular disease / hypertension, renal tubular & metabolic disorders & renal stone disease.

The doctor in training would also be able to participate in the transition service to adult care and attend outreach clinics covering 10 hospitals in Yorkshire. There are weekly Clinical Grand Rounds plus weekly psychosocial and radiology meetings with monthly transplant listing, guidelines, governance & business meetings and histopathology meetings every 2 months. There are 4 outpatient clinics/week covering renal transplantation, chronic renal failure, general and specialist nephrology.
