Clinical Fellow in Oncology and Haematology
UH Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust seeks to appoint Clinical Fellows in Oncology and Haematology. The successful candidates will spend 80% of their time in the Bristol Haematology & Oncology Centre (BHOC) Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) unit, performing clinical duties, and 20% of their time in other areas of BHOC, attending specialist outpatient clinics, working with the inpatient team, or engaging in non-clinical professional development, such as clinical audits or quality improvement projects.
These posts were successfully introduced in 2016 to give trainees the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge in haematology & oncology. There is no on-call commitment, but post holders may be required to provide medical cover to the acute assessment unit on bank holidays, paid at additional trust rates.
During the clinical block, the post holder may be required to provide cross cover to the oncology/haematology wards to cover leave.
Main duties of the job
The clinical job is based in the BHOC, which includes specialist oncology and haematology inpatient wards, radioisotope rooms, allogeneic bone marrow transplant facilities, a regional dedicated teenage and young adult unit, an outpatient chemotherapy unit, outpatient clinics, and a radiotherapy department with state-of-the-art radiotherapy facilities (including intra- and extra-cranial radiosurgery and brachytherapy). The oncology & haematology SDEC unit is staffed by 1-2 doctors Monday - Friday 9-9, along with advanced nurse practitioners and specialist nursing staff. This unit provides acute assessment of side effects for patients receiving active oncological and haematological treatment, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The post holder would work within the BHOC-SDEC and would be expected to manage acute oncological and haematological emergencies, as well as develop a greater understanding of cancer treatment and management. They would also be expected to medically review patients in the Chemotherapy Day Unit and radiotherapy departments as required. This post is supported by oncology and haematology registrars and consultants.
