Candidates must hold full GMC registration and be on the Specialist Register for Paediatric and Perinatal Pathology.

Applications are invited for the post of Consultant Paediatric Pathologist at The Royal London Hospital.

Barts Health is one of the country's largest NHS Trusts and has one of the UK's busiest children's hospitals. The Royal London is one of only two centres in the UK who diagnose and treat retinoblastoma, and is also a tertiary referral centre for paediatric inflammatory bowel disease. As such the pathology department receives a broad range of paediatric surgical cases including enucleations for retinoblastoma, diagnostic and intra-operative frozen sections for Hirschsprung's disease, paediatric gastro-intestinal, skin, benign head and neck, bone and soft tissue, urology and breast lesions.
The perinatal pathology service (including autopsy) supports four large maternity units in east London which collectively deliver around 20,000 babies each year.
