Locum Consultant Haematologist (Locum Consultant) - haematology - University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust
University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust – Derby, Derbyshire
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Locum Consultant Haematologist, to join our friendly and enthusiastic team at UHDB. This is an 11-PA replacement post joining a team of 11 consultants overall.
In-patient therapies are provided on a dedicated, 18 bedded, haematology ward, providing BCSH level 2b care, including induction treatment and salvage therapies for high grade lymphomas. We have our own Acute Unit for unwell patients (CTAU) run by advanced clinical practitioners with medical supervision and shared with Oncology. Our department currently accommodates 4 specialist Registrars from the East Midlands Deanery and 3 specialty Doctors. We have also an established teaching program for medical students from the University of Nottingham and overseas.
Currently, there is liaison with the regional transplant centre in Nottingham for autologous stem cell transplant, and Birmingham QE Hospital for CAR-T therapy. Part of our 5-year plan is to establish our own autologous transplant and cellular therapies program. An interest or previous experience in transplant and cellular therapies would be desirable although not essential for this role. The appointee will have the opportunity to shape the future of the growing haematology service. This is an exciting time in the evolution of haematology care at UHDB and we would be pleased to hear from any candidate wishing to consider this role and discuss ours and their vision for this.
As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together.
Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are becoming embedded in all aspects of how we work.
In return we will offer:
* Development opportunities, including both professional and leadership development
* On-going support through every step of the way from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.
* A variety of other staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes
This is a full-time post based at the Royal Derby Hospital, but any candidate who wishes to work less than full time will be considered and supported, considering service needs. Due to the Trust being a merged organisation there may be a requirement to work across both sites (Royal Derby Hospital and Queens Hospital Burton) in the future.
This is a replacement post for a Consultant Haematologist to develop our service across our hospital sites therefore we would welcome candidates who would like to develop a sub-specialist interest.
