In relation to this post, we are looking for an enthusiastic haematologist to join the current paediatric haematology consultants with a focus on malignant haematology and stem cell transplantation. 2. OBJECTIVES OF THE POST To provide, with consultant & multi-disciplinary colleagues in the paediatric haematology and oncology team, an emergency and elective regional service for children and young people with haematological disorders, with particular responsibility for leukaemia and haematopoietic stem cell transplant. To share on-call responsibility with the other consultants in the paediatric haematology and oncology team. This comprises an attending on call for the whole service and also a commitment to the non-malignant haematology telephone advice on call rota if appropriately trained. If the appointee is trained appropriately to join the non-malignant haematology rota for telephone advice, then their attending on call commitment will be reduced.

They will be supported in this by the paediatric haematology consultants, the paediatric haematology registrar, the adult haematology registrar, the paediatric haematology and oncology fellows, the haematology and stem cell transplant advanced and clinical nurse specialists and the paediatric oncology team. To share responsibility for the general anaesthetic lists which take place in the haematology day unit and in theatre carrying out haematological procedures (typically lumbar punctures, bone marrow examinations and bone marrow harvests) if these skills have been part of their training. If the candidate has the FRCPath then they will also share the morphology reporting with the haematology consultants and haematology registrars.
