Locum Consultant in Haematology

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a candidate interested in a Consultant Haematologist post at Barking, Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust to develop interest in malignant Haematology and Haemoglobinopathies. 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. Queen's Hospital hosts all the required services that are expected in a modern and sizeable District General Hospital such as accident and emergency, intensive care and high dependency units, and chronic renal dialysis facilities. Acute dialysis is provided through ITU and there is also a designated neuro-ITU. Full radiology facilities are at hand, including CT and MRI scanning as well as a busy interventional radiology suite. There is a comprehensive nuclear medicine department and endoscopy/ bronchoscopy facilities. Palliative care is provided by a team of consultants, associate specialists and specialist nurses. They provide around the clock palliative care support. There is a designated microbiology laboratory with direct consultant microbiologist support and a very busy histopathology department diagnosing almost half the cancers treated in the whole of North East London. There is a state-of-the-art radiotherapy facility and a fully functioning pharmacy with access to advice from a specialist haematology pharmacist.
