Dublin, Ireland OASIS Group Full time

Consultant Paediatrician (Child Protection / Forensic Medicine)

- Dublin, Ireland

- Permanent

Who We Are

(CHI) is leading on the clinical and operational transformation of acute paediatric healthcare and consists of hospitals at Crumlin, Temple Street and Tallaght as well as an Urgent Care Centre at Connolly hospital in Blanchardstown.

Skills and Attributes

- Registration as a specialist in the Specialist Division of the Register of Medical Practitioners

- One-year Clinical fellowship

- Or specialist training in Child Protection and Forensic Medical Examination

Description

Purpose of Role:

Currently in Ireland, all General Paediatricians have a responsibility for the assessment and management of cases of suspected child abuse including cases of suspected physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse or fabricated illness. In contrast to this, suspected child sexual abuse (CSA) cases are strictly managed by specific Consultant Paediatricians with extra subspecialty training in this field in 3 units around Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Galway). This has led to the development of a high quality, child-centred child sexual abuse medical service that is comparable to other services internationally.

There is no reason why other forms of suspected child abuse should be viewed as different in their complexity or seriousness as cases of possible CSA. In the UK, Canada, US, Australia and many European countries, it is standard that a ‘Child Protection Paediatrician/Child Abuse Paediatrician/Child Safeguarding team’ assesses children where there is a concern of possible non-accidental injury. This ensures that a rigorous, high standard medico-legal opinion is formulated and provided to investigators in the community i.e. Tusla – Child and Family Agency, An Garda Síochána and the judicial system.

With this in mind, the vision is that the post holder will play a pivotal role in the development of a dedicated Child Protection team/service within CHI.

The post holder will contribute to the delivery of a specialist consultation service in complex cases of child abuse and neglect.

The appointee will have a dedicated clinical commitment to the Paediatric Forensic Medical Examination (FME) service and will allow the expansion of the current service. The appointee will improve access to the Forensic Medical Service, shorten waiting lists for planned clinic appointments and provide clinical and academic leadership to the Forensic Medical service and Child Protection service within CHI.

Professional Qualifications and Experience

- Registration as a specialist in the Specialty Division of the Register of Medical Practitioners maintained by the Medical Council in Ireland in the specialty of Paediatrics.

- A minimum of one-year Clinical fellowship or specialist training in Child Protection and Forensic Medical Examination, nationally or internationally, is essential.

In exceptional circumstances, proleptic appointments may be considered for candidates engaged in relevant training programmes.

- The Consultant must, at all times while continuing to hold office, continue to be registered with the Medical Council of Ireland. Documentary evidence of Medical Council Registration is required and must be produced annually to the Medical Administration Department within the Children’s Health Ireland.
