Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant Haematologist to join a friendly and enthusiastic team at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. This post will be based at Royal Glamorgan Hospital.
The successful candidate will aim to start in February 2025, due to retirement within the team.
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is one of the largest Health Boards in Wales and was formed in 2019. It is situated near the vibrant cities of Cardiff, Swansea, and Bristol, enriched with magnificent scenery including beautiful beaches and the stunning Brecon Beacons national park.
English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
Main duties of the job
The post requires malignant and general haematological work. Candidates with any field of interest are encouraged to apply. However, it is desirable to have an interest and experience in haematological malignancy and chemotherapy. The work will be shared equally with the other consultants to provide clinical, laboratory, liaison haematology service and on call. The development of a special interest by the appointee is encouraged and would be in line with the clinical interest of the Health Board.
