Main duties of the job
You will assist the substantive consultants in providing a histopathology service to Broomfield Hospital. Duties expected of the post-holder will depend on previous experience.
Before the post-holder can undertake independent reporting they must have the full FRCPATH examination and be approved for CESR. If they have not submitted a request for CESR they will work entirely under the supervision of the substantive consultants. In this case duties will mainly comprise macroscopic examination and dissection for the substantive consultants to report.
A reorganisation of working practices has allowed all the members of the team to maintain expertise in a broad range of diagnostic pathology whilst conforming to the increasing need for specialisation in major cancers. A designated single lead Cellular Pathologist for each multidisciplinary team is identified. The Specialty Doctor will participate in surgical cut-up and contribute to the reporting service in line with best practice in regard to knowledge and qualifications.
