Trust Frade Registrar in Haematology inLeicester inLeicester PUBLISHED
MON 16 DEC 2024
The Registrar will supervise Foundation doctors, engage in clinical duties such as ward rounds and outpatient clinics, and contribute to multidisciplinary team discussions. Additionally, there are opportunities for involvement in undergraduate teaching and collaboration on professional projects within the department. A structured induction process will familiarize new registrars with necessary laboratory practices and patient care protocols, particularly for those looking to participate in the middle-grade on-call rota without prior experience.
This is a Trust Grade doctor to work alongside our existing Specialist Trainees and the wider team in Haematology.
We will support the acquisition of specialist knowledge, and you will be encouraged to participate in the Educational activities provided. You will also have a Personal and Professional Development Plan with regular appraisals.
This post does not have educational approval but if appropriate, you would be supported to develop your CV towards applying for a haematology training number. It would also suit those who would like some additional experience in haematology, working in a supportive department.
Candidates will preferably possess MRCP (UK) or equivalent. Applicants without MRCP must provide evidence of appropriate knowledge, training and experience, including two years as an SHO with at least 18 months experience in Acute Medicine including 6 months unselected take. Prior experience in haematology is essential, as is prior experience of working in the NHS (at least 12 months).
The post will have a formal induction process to familiarise you with the hospital, department and specialty. If it is appropriate, this will include an introduction to safe laboratory practice and basic diagnostic skills relating to laboratory work such as morphology and interpretation of coagulation tests and blood transfusion medicine. This would be necessary if you are to join the middle grade on-call rota and do not have prior experience in this. Further induction requirements will be assessed on an individual's previous experience and educational needs.
Clinical and Laboratory
You will have the opportunity to rotate through each of the
specialist areas within the Department. This includes laboratory, haemostasis and thrombosis, and haemato-oncology including stem cell transplant. You will be responsible for the care of in-patients, out-patients and day-cases, under the supervision of appropriate consultants. You will also be responsible for teaching and supervising both CMT and FY trainees working within the team.
If interested, there are opportunities to be involved in undergraduate teaching. You will be expected to take an active part in the audit programme of the Department, and there will be the opportunity to undertake quality improvement projects.
