Career in Paediatrics and Paediatric Intensive Care

PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF PAEDIATRIC CARE 

Sarah Wheatland, Children's Services Manager at The Portland Hospital explains why it's one of the best places to build a career in paediatrics and paediatric intensive care.

“I had previously worked at The Portland Hospital and  I came back earlier this year because I missed working here. I was genuinely happy here and I was able to make a real difference for the children in my care.

“I think a big part of that was down to the nurse to patient ratio at The Portland. It allows our paediatrics and paediatric intensive care team to provide dedicated, personalised care for children. Everything at The Portland is geared to helping you offer the best paediatric care. For one thing, we always have state-of-the-art equipment, like Teletracking, our 10-bed paediatric intensive care unit and our Vitalpac early warning system.

“Our nurses are supported by healthcare leading paediatricians too. I think that’s really important, because by working with these specialists, we are able to build up our skills and experience. We support progression and development through fully funded external courses in things like safeguarding and paediatric intensive care training.

“If you want to provide truly exceptional patient care in a supportive, positive environment, this is the place to be.”
