Histopathology Senior Clinical Fellow

Stanmore, England, United Kingdom

8/6/2025

This post has been developed to provide an individual who wishes to excel in the field of pathology the opportunity to develop skills to do just that. The Fellow will be trained in skills which are transferable and have the potential to be usefully employed in all areas of diagnostic pathology. The skills acquired will allow the individual to continue to develop over their career and to respond to changes that are likely to take place over the coming decades because of the greater use of technology. If the Fellow were interested, they could enrol in a post-graduate degree, but this is not a requirement.

Will have experience in general pathology including the gross dissection of complex specimens

• Show that that they are interested in developing and modernising the field of pathology,
• Have the ability to develop excellence in the field in some area of the field of pathology
• Be able to show an eagerness to excel in any field of pathology
  
  

The Fellow will acquire high level diagnostic skills by supporting the 4 consultants in delivery of the clinical service. The experience and training will provide the successful candidate the opportunity to become a highly competent specialist consultant histopathologist over the 12 months of the fellowship. Ideally, we would like to see the Fellow obtain a sarcoma post for which there is an unmet need across the UK and abroad however the skills acquired in this post would make then competitive for other areas in pathology if that is what they wished to pursue.

The appointed individual will undertake the cut up of complex musculoskeletal pathology cases under supervision of a consultant histopathologist, and will supervise more junior / less experienced staff undertaking this task.

The individual will draft histopathology reports on specimens received from RNOH and from referred hospitals. In the first instance these reports will be jointly authorised with a consultant histopathologists but with time, it would be expected that the appointee would have gained sufficient knowledge and experience to sign out cases.
