Clinical Fellow, Neonatology

Neonatal Unit (NICU) at UHS, one of the largest in the country, is a supra regional, tertiary care referral unit in South England. It provides extensive range of specialist paediatric services in neonatal medicine and surgery. I work in this unit as Senior Specialist Registrar, Neonatology. My usual work day includes taking clinical ward rounds, and formulating a plan of management for the babies, in discussion with Consultant. I regularly carry out teaching in addition to providing leadership and guidance for medical students and other medical colleagues (SHO, Nursing, unit academic teaching). I provide consultation for babies referred from the community or from other hospitals, in keeping with the unit protocols. I counsel distressed parents, before and during the admission of their baby in our unit. I see to it that the patient's notes are complete with regards to documentation, investigations, other specialist consultations etc. I carry out myself and teach others, complex, invasive medical procedures in the neonates admitted within the unit. Southampton being one of the very few centers for children’s Cardiac surgery in UK, I routinely manage babies with complex congenital or acquired heart diseases. The unit being the referral center for babies requiring Therapeutic Hypothermia (Whole Body Cooling) following perinatal asphyxia, I have good experience in managing such babies. I also attend complicated deliveries and Cesarean sections. I perform neonatal Cranial Ultrasound. The robust academic teaching program in the unit keeps me updated. I am one of the lead researcher in a current study, within our unit. I attend various regional and national research meetings regularly, so as to keep abreast of the latest development in Neonatal medicine.
