Posts will be offered at a 'senior level', equivalent in standard to Level 2/3 of the WK ST training curricula. After a period of three to six months' induction, it is expected that appointed applicants will progress sufficiently to spend the remaining 18-21 months working at a more senior level.
During the induction period Fellows will be exposed to a range of aspects and course in Paediatrics including Child Protection and Advance Paediatric Life Support. These courses will be undertaken irrespective of the clinical content of the overall post. All posts will contain on-call duties.
Successful applicants will be allocated posts following a competitive selection process, during which applicants are required to demonstrate that their clinical knowledge, skills and experience are sufficient to meet both the entry criteria set OINPF scheme and those set for GMC registration.

Acute Children's Services (Paediatrics)
Children's Services are provided in Oxford Children's Hospital, a purpose-built hospital for children from Oxfordshire which also offers specialist paediatric medical and surgical care to patients from elsewhere in the UK.
The Children's Emergency Department is staffed by Children's Emergency Medicine Consultants, ANPs and Children's ED nursing staff, and offers excellent opportunities for training and research.
The ambulatory Clinical Decision Unit (CDU), is close to Children's ED and both departments are closely linked.
Children who need to stay in hospital overnight are mainly cared for on Bellhouse Drayson Ward or Melanie's Ward in Oxford Children's Hospital. There is also a large Outpatient Department and Day Ward.
Children's Acute Wards
At the Horton General Hospital in Banbury we have a Children's Emergency Department and Children's Ward, as well as a purpose-built Outpatient Department.
Meetings are held on both sites on a regular basis.
