4 weeks ago


Manchester, United Kingdom The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Haematology and TYA services are seeking to appoint to a senior/junior Haematology Clinical Trials Research Fellow post to work alongside the research team and existing roles within the Palatine treatment centre. In 2014 the Palatine treatment centre opened as a purpose-built facility for the Haematology and Transplant Unit and Teenage and Young Adult (TYA) services.

Many clinical and scientific staff members have contributed to research, education and clinical developments, making The Christie proud to be responsible for having ‘world firsts’ and playing a crucial role in the advancement of cancer treatments and care for over 100 years.

The stem cell transplant program at the Christie was established in 1982 since when it has undertaken almost 3000 procedures. The department currently performs 120-160 transplants per year. In 2018, the Christie was selected as one of 7 first wave UK centres for delivery of CAR-T therapy. The unit is fully accredited for treatment with JACIE and the first patients are being treated in 2019.

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country.

We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years.

We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
