Applications are invited for a 10PA consultant oncologist post. The post is primarily based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH), with the potential for working across the newly formed Norfolk and Waveney University Hospital Group.
This post is substantive and is designed as a replacement created partially due to retirement of the previous post holder. Candidates should have a primary interest in breast, upper gastrointestinal (Upper GI) and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) cancers, although other interests may be accommodated. Due to the nature of these disease sites, the post would be well suited to a medical oncologist, although applications from clinical oncologists will also be welcomed. The post holder will be joining a team of three clinical oncologists, one medical oncologist and a nurse consultant in the Breast Team, as well as two Upper GI/HPB clinical oncologists.
The post holder will principally be part of the Breast, Upper GI and HPB (or other as agreed) MDTs, with responsibility for delivering SACT (+/- Radiotherapy) at NNUH.
Due to expertise within the department allowing for flexibility and internal reorganisation, applicants with an interest in other tumor sites are also strongly encouraged to apply. The appointee would be expected to see approximately 300 new patients annually and to participate in an approximately 1:13 on call rota.
The appointee will undertake new patient and follow up clinics, managing his/her own clinical workload within a team setting. The appointee would attend and actively participate in the relevant tumor site MDT meetings.
The appointment is to the Trust, not to specific hospitals.
All consultants, including the appointee, will be expected to be involved in implementing the Trust’s Clinical Governance programme. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal and risk management.
The appointee will be a member of the Consultant Staff Committee and be expected to serve on this committee.
