6 days ago

Portsmouth, United Kingdom Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

We are seeking a new Consultant colleague to join the Oncology team based at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) specialising in Breast cancer, with melanoma, or an additional tumour type depending on candidates site-specific interests, such as Upper GI, Colorectal, Urology or indeed an all Breast cancer position.

Portsmouth Oncology Centre provides oncological treatments for patients diagnosed with Breast Malignancy at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, St Richards Hospital, Chichester and St Mary's Hospital, Isle of Wight. Each site runs a separate Breast MDT, but common protocols and combined Breast Oncological Educational meetings exist, with all the Breast Oncologists working well as a team. Clinics run at each hospital site with chemotherapy treatment day units at each hospital. All radiotherapy is delivered at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth. There are four Clinical Oncologists supporting the Breast service, and a Consultant Radiographer, with a Consultant Radiographer in training. Portsmouth was one of the first UK centres to implement IMC radiotherapy, offering this technique routinely to suitable patients. Nurse and pharmacy prescribers support the chemotherapy service, in early and metastatic disease, with a programme to continue to develop these and other supportive roles. Portsmouth is a Breast Screening Centre and has specialist oncoplastic and reconstructive services.

Main duties of the job

The Breast component of the post is to support the service for St Richards Hospital, Chichester, so for the West Sussex population, with the other tumour type being based at Portsmouth.

The melanoma service also supports patients being diagnosed with skin cancer in Portsmouth, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight, but with most of the treatments delivered at Queen Alexandra Hospital, with support of homecare services for immunotherapy. The MDT is based in the dermatology Unit at St Marys Hospital, Portsmouth where there is a dedicated Unit with excellent dermatological services, including Mohs surgery for non-melanoma skin cancers. The service is supported by CNS, with plans for non-medical prescribers in the service. MDT is held on Teams.

PHU is a full functioning acute general hospital with all acute services to support Oncology services, including complex interventional radiology, pleural drainage and radiofrequency ablation of liver lesions. SABR has been adopted, including for oligometastases.

There is a well-established Oncological Research team supporting and encouraging clinical trials, and links with the University of Portsmouth. Participation in and leading research is strongly encouraged as is the development of academic roles.

About us

Here at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, we are proud to provide expert, compassionate care for our local population. We are ranked as the third in the country for research, embedding education and training across our organisation. Our main hub is the Queen Alexandra Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals on the south coast employing over 8,700 staff.

Our patients come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes our hospital stronger.
