Consultant Paediatrician

We’re seeking an experienced, caring and forward-thinking Paediatrician to join our growing multidisciplinary team at Optimal Healthcare, to share in our mission to transform health and healthcare alike, to deliver an optimal healthspan within a long lifespan, and thus vibrancy to life.

You will be responsible, as part of a team, for the care of all Paediatric patients in Optimal Healthcare. Families like to see their own Paediatrician and we will support you in building up a case load of children and families. A vital component of the role is the promotion and management of optimal health through regular well children checks. Keeping children healthy and thriving is not just an aspiration for us, it is our mission. The role is to serve the health of each and every child and that starts with a focus on keeping them healthy, through optimal primary prevention, picking up and intervening in health issues at the earliest possible moment and inspiring families and children to truly engage in the principles of optimal health, not just fixing sickness.

The role will allow you appropriate time to mange each child properly, with a typical appointment time of 30 minutes (if you have worked in the NHS, you’ll understand truly what that means). You will be supported by high calibre nursing staff, state of the art equipment, lab services, and IT support including AI generated medical notes if you wish.
