Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a locum consultant clinical oncologist predominantly based at Queen’s Hospital, with a view to substantiate the post pending college approval.
The successful applicant will have specialist interest in the treatment of breast malignancies plus another tumour site of their choice and have full registration with the GMC with licence to practice. CCT in clinical oncology is expected to be achieved within 6 months of interview.
Clinical oncology at Queen’s Hospital is exciting and rapidly evolving. We have been awarded a joint contract to deliver intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery in collaboration with Barts Health. We are a 3 linac Varian site and were the first UK centre to go live with daily online adaptive radiotherapy using ETHOS which we recently upgraded to utilise Hypersight imaging. Surface guided radiotherapy went live at the end of 2024. We are members of Varian’s adaptive intelligence consortium which facilitates global collaboration.
We look forward to the successful applicant helping us to further develop our adaptive and stereotactic radiotherapy program as well as joining us in presenting abstracts at conferences in the UK and beyond.
There are further opportunities to develop your interests in research, leadership and teaching.
If you are the right person for this role and would like an informal discussion, please contact Dr Amy Ward or Dr Simon Ball (01708 435 000 ext 2078).
The Post Holder Will Be Expected To Provide To a High Standard The Full Range Of Specialist Diagnosis, Treatment And Care To Patients Requiring Oncology Services As Outlined In The Proposed Program, Including The Following
Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.
Patients across northeast London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Well-being Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
