Consultant Oncologist in Urology and Colorectal Cancer
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trusts
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full-time Consultant Oncologist with a responsibility in Urology and Colorectal Cancer for Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
This 10 PA per week is designed as a Consultant Clinical Oncologist post with responsibilities in the radiotherapy and systemic therapy treatments in urological cancer (urothelial / prostate). This post is also open to applicants from a medical oncology background, with alterations available to the 10 PA job description by converting radiotherapy work to additional colorectal cancer work.
The post is based at Nottingham University Hospital, City Campus (NCH) with all the radiotherapy facilities located at this site.
Main Duties of the Job
You will work with advanced practice/consultant radiographers to deliver optimal techniques in urological radiotherapy planning and treatment delivery. NUH is a SABR centre and administers radium 223 treatment in our nuclear medicine department. We participate in a variety of clinical trials including PACE C, PIVOTAL BOOST, and PACE-NODES, and we are setting up for PEARLS. We have PSMA PET imaging at NUH and aim to establish a lutetium-177 service for advanced prostate cancer in the future.
The role will be supported by two Uro-oncology nurse specialists, who have their own clinics and provide telephone support for patients with all stages of prostate and urothelial malignancies. A consultant urology radiographer also supports the service with a separate patient list, along with support from Advanced pharmacy practitioners in reviewing patients on systemic treatment.
You will join an enthusiastic multidisciplinary team treating colorectal cancers at Nottingham City Hospital. NUH has an excellent colorectal cancer service, serving as a tertiary referral centre for early and advanced disease, with an active programme in clinical research supported by tumour site-specific research nurses. The colorectal cancer service at NUH continues to expand with specialised multi-professional meetings covering the full spectrum of colorectal cancer from early to advanced presentations.
