The department is in purpose-built accommodation and located close to the other pathology disciplines. All consultants and the main laboratory services are based at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Intra-operative consultations are supported at Royal Sussex County Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital. The majority of Multidisciplinary team meetings are supported at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, although Multidisciplinary team meetings are supported at other sites including Brighton General Hospital. The successful candidate will be based at the Royal Sussex County Hospital however they may be required to work at other trust sites subject to the needs of the service. The department provides a high quality and timely service to its end users, supporting a wide range of clinical specialties. These include Breast Screening and Surgery, Cardiology, Chest Medicine including Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), Dermatology, Thyroid, Head and Neck Surgery, Gynaecology, Medical and Surgical Gastroenterology, HIV medicine, Orthopaedic Surgery, Urology, Ophthalmology, Oncology, Haematopathology, Paediatric Surgery, Peri-natal Medicine and Renal Medicine. Work from the Sussex Cancer Centre represents a significant proportion of the caseload. Multidisciplinary team meetings are held regularly within the main clinical specialties. The department supports 15 regular MDT meetings each week. These are principally supported by the lead pathologist for each specialty, with cover provided internally as required. The majority of MDT meetings are held virtually or at the RSCH site. We have a close working relationship between the department and other sites across the UHSussex trust. In addition to and facilitated through a pathology network we have an evolving relationship with East Sussex Health Care NHS trust and the Queen Victoria NHS trust at East Grinstead. The laboratory is enthusiastically committed to training and service development. Full facilities for the performance of semi-automated immunohistochemistry are available. An electron microscopy service is supported. The department has a dedicated lead in Molecular Diagnostics. Non-gynae cytology is prepared and screened by Biomedical Scientists based at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Biomedical Scientists also provide support for Endobronchial Ultrasound Clinics (EBUS) and Thyroid Ultrasound Aspiration clinics held at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. An interest and experience in EBUS cytology reporting would be desirable. Consultants from the department perform post-mortems at the Brighton & Hove City mortuary as requested by H M Coroner for Brighton and Hove. Participation in post-mortems is entirely at the post holders discretion. Paediatric post-mortems are contracted to St Thomas paediatric pathology department and not performed locally.
