A Vacancy at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Consultant Medical Oncology with interest on Gynaecological Cancers
This job description is for a 10PA Consultant medical oncologist post. The post is based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH).
This post is substantive and is designed as a replacement created due to retirement of the previous post holder. Candidates should have a primary interest in gynaecological (specifically ovarian) cancers, although other secondary interests may be accommodated. The post holder will be joining a team of two clinical oncologists in the Gynae-Oncology Team, who provide an external beam and brachytherapy service for this patient group.
The appointee will join a dynamic, research-active team with considerable collective expertise and a desire to provide world class, evidence-based, patient-centred care to the local population and beyond. The predominant referrals include patients with breast, lung, urology and colorectal cancers as well as the less common gynaecological tumours, lymphomas, upper GI and Head & Neck cancers, brain tumours, skin cancers, neuro-endocrine cancers and sarcomas. Most patients are treated on standard protocols and many are entered into clinical trials. Neurosurgery, hepatic surgery and specialist paediatric services are provided at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.
The clinical team provides specialist oncology services to the Norfolk population of 930,000+ people. Site-specific multidisciplinary meetings are held in a dedicated MDT room with video-links to neighbouring trusts.
Norwich is a great place to live. The city supports a wide variety of cultural activities. The North Norfolk coast is on the doorstep as is the Norfolk Broads National Park. The city also has some excellent schools and a thriving university. The city is only 2 hours from the center of London.
The Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH) is one of the busiest teaching trusts in England. We serve over 900,000 people across Norfolk, North Suffolk and surrounding areas for specialist services.
• The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital is located on the Norwich Research Park and serves the population of Norfolk and Norfolk Suffolk and further afield for specialist services. It opened in 2001 and is a 1,200 bed teaching hospital with state-of-the-art facilities. We provide a wide range of secondary and tertiary services, including Accident and Emergency. The Trust commemorated 250years of a hospital in Norwich in 2021.
