NHS HIGHLAND
Raigmore Hospital
Clinical Development Fellow
40 hours per week
£45,504 - £60,199 per annum pro rata
This post does not include the additional banding supplement.
6 months (Feb - July 2023 inclusive) initially.
Applications are invited from trainee doctors having recently completed or about to finish either UK Foundation Programmes or Core Medical Training to apply for the position of Clinical Development Fellow (CDF) in Haematology.
The successful applicant will join a progressive Haematology team at Raigmore Hospital, a Cancer centre with full support and radiotherapy services on site. The post holder will gain experience in the diagnosis and management of common malignant haematological disorders (e.g. myeloma, lymphomas, and leukaemias); in benign haematology (e.g. ITP and haemolysis) and in haemostasis and thrombosis including treatment of haemophilia. You will learn how to approach investigation of a new patient. You will gain experience in the use of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other new 'targeted' anti-cancer medicines although you will not be expected to prescribe these treatments.
Attending MDTs with radiology and pathology input will aid understanding of diagnostic processes and assessment of disease response (e.g. review of biopsy specimens and PET scans).
There is the opportunity to learn about the clinical trials currently open for recruitment in the department and to attend national meetings (e.g. CAR-T cell therapy MDT and Teenage/Young Adult cancer MDTs) for education.
In addition, the successful candidate will have 6 hours per week of CPD/development time and 2 hours of in-house training.
The department provides BCSH level 2b clinical services including treatment of all malignancies on site. Stem cell transplant work is undertaken on a shared care basis with the relevant Scottish centres. The department also acts as a Haemophilia Centre, has an active Clinical trials program and is supported by dedicated Nurse, Audit and Research staff.
The Postgraduate Medical Centre, within the Centre for Health Science, has an extensive, well-equipped library and is situated on the Raigmore site. The Haematology team participates in the teaching programme for medical undergraduates from Aberdeen University.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
