Job description
Job responsibilities
The team consists of 2 other consultants, 2 staff grades, 2 Haematology Clinical Nurse Specialists and an FY1. Outpatient chemotherapy is administered on our Cancer Care Centre and there is a separate Planned Investigation Unit for outpatient treatments, such as blood transfusions and iron infusions.
The lab at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary processes inpatient blood tests and within the lab there is a microscopy room for blood film reporting. Lymph node and bone marrow biopsies are sent to a tertiary diagnostic centre, which provides unified diagnostic reports.
We are part of the Greater Manchester Cancer Network and have support from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Manchester University Foundation Trust for patients requiring tertiary care.
The Trust has recently achieved Teaching Hospital status with Edge Hill University Medical School. This will provide excellent opportunities for teaching and supporting educational development of students and junior doctors.
The post holder will undertake laboratory work including advice regarding diagnostic samples, validation and interpretation of results and involvement in agreeing policies and procedures for the examination of samples.
The post holder will participate in the diagnosis and management of individual patients by liaison with patients, clinicians and other hospital and community staff. The majority of the work is through outpatient clinics and day case work.
The WWL Trust Anticoagulant Service is overseen by the Consultant Haematologists (one of whom is lead for anticoagulation) and is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of nurse practitioners, pharmacists and biomedical scientists. Three hospital clinics and 5 community clinics are undertaken weekly, managing up to 4000 patients. The patients remain the responsibility of the referring clinicians, though the anticoagulant staff are accountable to the lead ConsultantHaematologist.
