Specialty Doctor in Haematology

We are pleased to invite applications for a Specialty Doctor in Haematology (1-year fixed-term contract) to join our friendly and dynamic team of Haematologists at Milton Keynes University Hospital. This is an exciting time to join the team, as a new, purpose-built Cancer Centre opened in early 2020 and a brand-new Radiotherapy Centre opened in Spring 2025, providing fantastic facilities for our Haematology and Oncology patients. Our haematology service is well established and forward-thinking, comprising: 6 consultants, 1 specialty doctor, 3 resident doctors and 6 clinical nurse specialists. The team delivers level 2B care, including administration of bispecific antibody therapy. This is a 1-year fixed-term post. It is suitable for doctors with a specialist interest in haematology or seeking to gain further experience in haematology. The post is based in Milton Keynes, and the post-holder will rotate with the other middle grades across the ward, Macmillan Day unit, outpatient clinics and laboratory cover.

This post involves daily management of haematology inpatients and referrals from other specialties. The post-holder will also provide cover for the day unit to review and manage patients on chemotherapy who are unwell and perform procedures including bone marrows, intrathecal chemotherapy administration (subject to training and approval) and chemotherapy prescriptions. The post holder will also participate in haematology clinics which cover a wide spectrum of haematological malignancies and general disorders. You will have the opportunity to be involved in research and attend multi-disciplinary team meetings. We offer support for teaching, education, research and audit, ensuring you can develop professionally within a collaborative environment. You must be a fully registered medical practitioner with the GMC or be eligible to obtain full GMC registration within 3 months (or within 6 months for non-EEA applicants).
