We are keen to appoint a driven and innovative 10 PA Consultant Haematologist to join the Oxford Haemophilia and Thrombosis Centre (OHTC) team.

Our team includes an integrated multi-disciplinary team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and managers and laboratory staff which offers care across the Oxford Hospitals sites. Patient satisfaction at OHTC is extremely high and we pride ourselves on building strong relationships with all our patients and in particular those patients, with a chronic disease. We perform strongly on all Trust targets and national and international benchmarking exercises.

The successful appointee would lead the haemophilia and inherited bleeding disorder service for the Trust as well as the haemostasis laboratory. Routine work would include regular clinics for both inherited bleeding disorder and thrombosis patients, running a regional complex MDT for inherited bleeding diseases, as well as providing specialist support for clinicians in the Trust and the region, and answering Oxfordshire GP queries.

The on-call commitment is a 1 in 5. There is support from two specialist registrars and one FY2 and a large team of specialist nurses. There is an integrated specialist haemostasis and thrombosis laboratory at OHTC and the successful appointee will work closely, and act as the clinical lead, with the laboratory staff.

The post-holder will join 4 other haemostasis consultants and share the routine work which includes weekly inherited bleeding disorder and thrombosis clinics and a new patient clinic. Other routine commitments specific to this post will include attending monthly haemostasis laboratory meetings, monthly research meetings and departmental meetings and quarterly governance meeting. There is a 1 in 5 on-call commitment during which the post-holder will provide specialist advice to clinicians at the Trust as well as regionally. An important part of the workload involves giving advice over the telephone to GP’s and other hospital doctors and this work is included in the on-call commitment.

Specifically, the post-holder will lead the haemophilia and inherited bleeding disorder service for the region as well as the regional haemostasis laboratory service for haemostasis and thrombosis. The post-holder will also lead and co-ordinate the MDT for complex inherited bleeding disorder patients across the region and will work closely with the regional haemophilia network and specialist haemophilia commissioners. The successful appointee will have a shared office at OHTC and secretarial and administrative support from within OHTC.
