Clinical Fellow Paediatric Oncology and Haematology

NHS Medical & Dental: Senior Clinical Fellow

Job overview

Nottingham is the Primary Treatment Centre for the East Midlands (population 4.5 million) and treats 120 new patients with malignant disease a year. The department has 17 designated in-patient beds including a 5 bedded TYA unit, 3 day-care beds and access to beds on the neuro-sciences ward.

This is a varied and interesting post in paediatric oncology and haematology. Experience will be provided at Nottingham Children's Hospital (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust) in general paediatric oncology, paediatric neuro-oncology, paediatric haematology, TYA oncology, neuro-rehabilitation and clinical trials.

Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will rotate through three different clinical areas: oncology and haematology inpatients (including neuro-oncology, leukaemia and non-malignant haematology), day care and outpatients. Trainee supervision includes twice weekly consultant-led ward rounds; solid tumour, neuro-oncology, haematology, psychosocial, neuro-rehabilitation and TYA MDTs; an ‘attending consultant’ system for in-patient care and new patient referrals; and a weekly supervised chemotherapy prescribing session. Induction includes supervision in bone marrow sampling, safe chemotherapy prescribing and handling and accredited training in prescription and administration of intrathecal chemotherapy. Out-patient clinics include general and neuro-oncology, leukaemia, non-malignant haematology, combined neuro-oncology / endocrine and neuro-oncology / ophthalmology and late effects / long term follow up. Depending on experience and training the successful applicant will be expected to run their own outpatient clinics with consultant supervision. Occasional participation at regional shared care clinics is encouraged.
