Consultant Haematologist with Si in Lymphoma

Due to our huge expansion of the Haematology Service at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, we are initially wanting to recruit 4 new Consultants as part of the first phase of the rightsizing process we are undertaking. Applications in this case are welcomed for a Consultant post in Clinical Haematology (General Haematology) with a sub-specialty in Lymphoma.

This is a new full time (10 PA) appointment based at Pilgrim Hospital, Boston which also attracts an additional 1PA as part of the on-call provision. It is envisaged that 2 days of compensatory rest will also be allocated as part of the on-call rota following the appointment of the 4 new posts. We have additional Lead Roles such as Head of Service for Haematology, Chemotherapy Lead, Clinical Lead for Haematology, Oncology and Specialist Palliative Care and Transfusion Lead are available at different times based on a 3-year fixed term post in additional to the Consultant role. These additional Lead Roles also attract between 1PA and 2PAs depending on the role.

We have an established team of Specialist Registrars, Speciality Doctors, Advanced Clinical Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Specialists on both the Lincoln and Boston sites to support Consultants in delivering Haematology care.
