About the role
A rare opportunity has arisen to join one of the UK's leading diagnostic pathology services. North West London Pathology (NWLP) is one of the UK's largest laboratory providers, delivering high-quality diagnostics across a diverse patient population. Our UKAS-accredited (ISO 15189:2022) Cellular Pathology service operates a hub-and-spoke model, with Histopathology, Cytology and Electron Microscopy based at Charing Cross Hospital, and the Specialist Integrated Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service (SIHMDS) at Hammersmith Hospital.
We are seeking an ambitious Consultant to join our highly regarded SIHMDS team in a substantive 10 PA post. Working with expert pathology and clinical haematology colleagues, you will diagnose a wide range of complex haematological disorders including malignancies, myelodysplastic syndromes, bone marrow failure disorders, pancytopenias and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.
This Monday to Friday post has no on-call commitment, offering an excellent work-life balance. Consultants attend MDTs remotely and contribute to integrated, patient-centred care across the region. You will report samples from the Trust's internationally recognised MPN/CML service, gaining exposure to complex cases. As part of a world-leading Academic Health Science Centre, you'll benefit from excellent opportunities for research, education, leadership and career development within a supportive, collaborative team.
