Paediatric Rheumatology Training in Nottingham
Nottingham Children's Hospital offer tertiary paediatric rheumatology services to a wide geographical area. Large numbers of children are seen in six-nine clinics per week. In patients and day-care patients are managed on the joint oncology-rheumatology ward and day-care unit. Clinics predominantly occur at Nottingham Children's Hospital (six per week). However, regular 'outreach' clinics take place in surrounding district general hospitals. In this way a 'hub and spoke' service is provided.
Nottingham is one of eight grid-accredited centres in the UK and as such provides training for national grid trainees. There is also plenty of opportunity for local non-grid trainees to experience six month placements in the subspecialty. Trainees wishing to gain 'with-an-interest' training can also request a one year attachment.
The following documents provide some useful information for those considering training in paediatric rheumatology. The two paediatric rheumatologists at Nottingham Children's Hospital would be very happy to chat informally with trainees, and are very approachable:
