Job Summary
This Consultant Haematologist post forms part of an ongoing investment and development plan for the Haematology Services in Lancashire Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (LTHTR).
As one of four new posts, it is an exciting time for the organisation with the reinstating of locally provided haematology services. The consultant team will be complemented with an experienced specialist nursing and laboratory team. The Haematologists will work within the two large Directorates of Pathology and Oncology in Lancashire and South Cumbria's tertiary centre.
The Trust services are based at two main hospital sites - Royal Preston Hospital and Chorley & South Ribble District General Hospital. The Haematology department is provided across both sites.
The Trust's hospitals provide general hospital services to a local population of 390,000 and specialist tertiary health care services to a wider population of 1.8 million across Lancashire and South Cumbria. The Trust is one of the larger NHS providers in the Northwest employing over 8000 staff and with an annual income in excess of £600 million.
These are substantive appointments with the ability to develop sub-speciality interest.
Generous relocation packages are available and recruitment premia by separate negotiation.
