University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (279)
Applications are sought for Consultant Cellular Pathologists to join a dynamic team of twelve consultants working in the cellular pathology department at St Richards Chichester. The post is a whole-time equivalent fixed term for one year.
The department has a large and varied workload with a system of generalist reporting. An applicant would ideally be able to report two or three sub-specialties. It would be desirable if one of those sub-specialties is Gynaecological pathology; an interest in gastrointestinal pathology would also be useful. The department can accommodate other specialty interests.
The histopathology department is undergoing an accelerated period of change following the creation of UHSussex and the formation of a larger pathology network. There are opportunities for service development with full executive support. We would like to appoint a consultant to be part of these once in a generation changes, including the implementation of a complete digital histopathology solution.
Informal enquiries are welcome by contacting Dr Ceri Morgan (Consultant Cellular Pathologist and clinical lead West side) at ceri.morgan3@nhs.net.
