While the role is based at the Royal Derby Hospital, flexibility for part-time work will be considered based on service needs. There may also be opportunities to work across both Royal Derby Hospital and Queen's Hospital Burton. The position aims to attract individuals with interests in sub-specialties, fostering the future evolution of haematology care within the trust.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Locum Consultant Haematologist , to join our friendly and enthusiastic team at UHDB. This is an 11-PA replacement post joining a team of 11 consultants overall.
In-patient therapies are provided on a dedicated, 18 bedded, haematology ward, providing BCSH level 2b care, including induction treatment and salvage therapies for high grade lymphomas. We have our own Acute Unit for unwell patients (CTAU) run by advanced clinical practitioners with medical supervision and shared with Oncology. Our department currently accommodates 4 specialist Registrars from the East Midlands Deanery and 3 specialty Doctors. We have also an established teaching program for medical students from the University of Nottingham and overseas.
Currently, there is liaison with the regional transplant centre in Nottingham for autologous stem cell transplant, and Birmingham QE Hospital for CAR-T therapy. Part of our 5-year plan is to establish our own autologous transplant and cellular therapies program. An interest or previous experience in transplant and cellular therapies would be desirable although not essential for this role. The apppointee will have the opportunity to shape the future of the growing haematology service. This is an exciting time in the evolution of haematology care at UHDB and we would be pleased to hear from any candidate wishing to consider this role and discuss ours and their vision for this.
About us
This is a full-time post based at the Royal Derby Hospital, but any candidate who wishes to work less than full time will be considered and supported, considering service needs. Due to the Trust being a merged organisation there may be a requirement to work across both sites (Royal Derby Hospital and Queens Hospital Burton) in the future.
This is a replacement post for a Consultant Haematologist to develop our service across our hospital sites therefore we would welcome candidates who would like to develop a sub-specialist interest.
Please wait...this will take a moment...
