The post-holder will have a comprehensive training in haematology and will be capable of handling the range of clinical and laboratory haematology problems that occur in the setting on a district general hospital. They will also collaborate actively with other colleagues with the Red Cell Network (RCN) and the HCC to ensure provision of excellent red cell care at NMUH. They will undertake at least one weekly red cell outpatient clinic. They will provide clinical leadership and oversight for patients attending the Sickle and Thalassaemia Day Unit and the proposed ED Bypass service.

The post holder will also be encouraged to develop other areas of interest of their own preference, subject to discussion with the clinical and divisional leads, in non-malignant or malignant haematology. They will work alongside other consultants within the Department to review Haematology referrals from primary care and from within the Trust.

There will be an opportunity to discuss clinical trial patients and clinical research development in the monthly Thursday afternoon NMH research meetings. The post-holder will also have a key role in developing the NMUH research portfolio and drive recruitment into clinical studies at both NMUH and UCLH, as well as at other relevant centres, wherever appropriate.
