To ensure the continued delivery of high-quality Oncological care to patients within the trust and to contribute to the further development of the service.

The appointee will be Lead Oncologist for Breast Clinical Oncology and Colorectal Clinical Oncology and share the responsibility for the treatment and management of Colorectal cancers with Dr Morton-Gittens, Specialist Oncologist. Like most cancer units and centres, there has been a steady rise in the number of patients being referred for treatment of these malignancies and an increase in the use of multiple lines of chemotherapy, including the expansion in the use of monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapy. The appointee will be expected to maintain and enhance the multidisciplinary management of patients with these malignancies, to increase entry of patients into clinical trials and to expand the service as required to meet patient's needs.
