Gloucester, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

Our oncology team is excited to welcome a friendly and enthusiastic colleague who values strong teamwork and a patient-centred approach. This new role is a vital addition to our expanding and ambitious oncology service, where you'll join an energetic, innovative team dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of oncology services for the communities of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. With plans to develop the Gloucestershire Cancer Institute by expanding our regional Cancer Centre in Cheltenham through a new building and estate transformation, there's never been a more exciting time to join us.

This is a substantive position for a Consultant Medical Oncologist at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Work closely with our established teams focused on lung cancer and melanoma, with specific opportunities to engage in immunotherapy leadership and research, which are prioritised in the job plan.

While this role is advertised as a 10 PA post, we welcome applications from those interested in less-than-full-time work and are committed to accommodating particular interests or tumour sites the successful candidate may wish to pursue. We encourage informal enquiries to explore how we can tailor this role to suit your career aspirations.

We have a large team of nurse practitioners providing acute care to our patients (inpatient care, 24-hour acute haematology oncology unit and acute oncology service) and assessment for patients undergoing SACT.

-continuing the established links with site specialized teams through multidisciplinary team meetings

-further strengthening and developing multidisciplinary teams

-maintaining and fostering links with multi-disciplinary staff groups within Oncology, the palliative care teams, colleagues in medical and surgical specialties, and colleagues in primary care

-offering as many patients as possible access to a clinical trial ( PA per week to pursue research activity)

-improving patient safety by developing a new role as immunotherapy lead for the department ( PA per week)
