The clinical commitments of this post will include responsibility for inpatient (on the Luton site) and outpatient care of Bedford patients with haematological disorders. The duties also involve provision of laboratory haematology services.

A degree of specialisation between the consultants will be encouraged within the overall requirements of the departmental service.

The allocation of programmed activities will be based on 8.5 for direct clinical care and 1.5 for supporting professional activities. The detailed job plan will be agreed in consultation with the Clinical Director and the Consultants in the Department, with the approval of the Medical Director and Chief Executive or their representative.

It will cover all aspects of a consultant’s professional practice including clinical work, teaching, research, education and managerial responsibilities. It will provide a clear schedule of commitments, both internal and external. In addition, it will provide personal objectives, including details of links to wider service objectives, and details of the support required by the consultant to fulfil the job plan and the objectives.
