Locum Consultant in Palliative Medicine

6 months ago

Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant in Palliative Medicine to join our specialist palliative care services within Central Lancashire on a 1-year fixed term basis. This post has been created to cover the maternity leave of a colleague and will initially have sessions split between the hospital specialist palliative care service and the hospice inpatient service. The hospital sessions are based at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, who are also the employing organisation. The hospice inpatient sessions are based at St Catherine’s Hospice, Preston.

The post holder will also work closely with colleagues in palliative care across Central Lancashire, supporting the delivery of Specialist Palliative Care within the hospital, hospice and community settings, including the provision of cross-cover for consultant colleagues when needed and supporting the on-call provision based at St Catherine’s Hospice.

Depending on the start date of the successful applicant there may be some overlap with the individual on maternity leave returning. In this event there may be the opportunity to provide experience working within other areas of the Central Lancashire specialist palliative care service including our community setting, depending on the needs of the service. Any alteration to the job plan would be made in line with job planning guidance.

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust forms one of the major acute Trusts in the North West. We are the tertiary centre across Lancashire and South Cumbria for neurosciences, renal medicine, oncology, plastic surgery and burns. Undergraduate medical student teaching commenced here in 2003 and considerable opportunities exist for research and development which are integral to Teaching Hospital status. The Hospital SPC inpatient service receives an average of 225 referrals per month across 2 hospital sites. An increasing proportion of referrals are for patients with a non-cancer diagnosis both from the local population and across the tertiary services. The hospital specialist palliative care team provide a liaison service to adult inpatients.

St Catherine’s Hospice is a highly respected, forward-thinking independent registered charity with an excellent history. Hospice care is provided through Inpatient, Outpatient, Lymphoedema and Community Specialist Nursing Services. The community services include a recently expanded CNS and consultant team, support assistants and a hospice at home pilot. The Hospice is led by a highly committed Board of Trustees who have overseen several refurbishment programmes to continuously improve facilities for patients, carers and families. The ethos of continually striving to provide the best possible services for local people, in ways that suit their personal needs, is strongly embedded in the strategic development of the Hospice.
