About the role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a candidate interested in a 12-month fixed-term locum consultant haematologist post at Barking, Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Haematologist to join our well established, dedicated and supportive team.

The successful candidate will join a team of nine consultants supported by four registrars from the North East London rotation and five clinical fellows to serve a population of 750,000.

Any consultant who is unable for personal reasons to work full-time will be eligible to be considered for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis with the Trust in consultation with consultant colleagues.

Please see attached JD for the complete overview of this role.

A commitment to attend ward patients is required. This is undertaken on a 2-week block rolling rota shared with other consultants. Full ward rounds will be undertaken twice a week when you are allocated to ward cover, with daily reviews required for new admissions and unstable patients. During weeks off ward cover, the dedicated full ward-round time will be allocated SPA time.

You will have designated time to support the laboratory, the primary care advice and guidance which are also undertaken on a rolling rota.

We have an active local interest in maintaining diagnostics expertise through in-house reporting of bone marrows and weekly morphology review meeting. If you wish, you can have the opportunity to participate in this diagnostic service, although this is not mandatory. There is a dedicated in-house haematological histopathologist. Barts Health provide the SIHMDS.

You will be expected to attend and participate in the weekly morphology meeting and core medical trainee and specialist haematology trainee teaching programme in addition to being a clinical supervisor for junior doctors. You will have the opportunity to be an educational supervisor if you wish.

You will be expected to participate in the on-call rota (overnight weekday and weekends) on a 1:6 cover.

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.

We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

Some of the positive changes we’ve made are captured in this film.
