Neuro-oncology research is supported by 4 neuro-oncology research nurses and 4 Clinical Trials Administrators at The Christie, with additional staff at Salford. Clinical trials are conducted via a dedicated once or twice-weekly neuro-oncology trials clinic and there are close links with the Early Phase Medicines team and the wider research infrastructure of the University of Manchester and MCRC.

    Job responsibilities This is a permanent opportunity to work alongside the current CNS Clinical Oncology Team to cover the absence of a consultant colleague.

The successful applicant will share the management of new adult neuro-oncology patients with colleagues. Referrals are divided equitably via a shared rotation of the weekly new patient, clinic with approximately 250 new referrals per year. The successful applicant will have office accommodation provided within the clinical oncology department and secretarial/PA support. The role will be responsible for working with consultant colleagues to support all aspects of the clinical oncology neuro-oncology service, and provide cross cover for leave. Responsibilities will include (but not confined to) new patient and follow-up clinics, actively contributing to the weekly neuro-oncology MDT, radiotherapy treatment planning including stereotactic radiosurgery, the delivery and monitoring of systemic therapies, supporting the clinical trials clinic and clinical trial activity, working with colleagues in the supervision and delivery of undergraduate and post-graduate education, contributing to service development including audit and guideline development and cross covering. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The medical staff establishment provides for 55 Clinical Oncology Consultants, including 4 academic consultants and 25 Specialist Registrars in Clinical Oncology. There is a junior doctor team at F2 and ST1-2 level, working jointly with Medical Oncology and Haematology, within the Division of Networked Services. The appointee will be based at The Christie and will provide senior input to the Clinical Neuro-Oncology consultant group.

Prof McBain leads on trials of systemic therapy Dr Whitfield has led on radiotherapy trials. Neuro-oncology research is supported by 4 neuro-oncology research nurses and 4 Clinical Trials Administrators at The Christie, with additional staff at Salford. Clinical trials are conducted via a dedicated once or twice-weekly neuro-oncology trials clinic and there are close links with the Early Phase Medicines team and the wider research infrastructure of the University of Manchester and MCRC. The successful applicant will help colleagues in supporting the conduct of clinical trials, with scope to develop this aspect of the role if desired. Although the responsibilities of this post do not include a formal CNS proton clinical workload, there may be scope to work in conjunction with the Proton Beam Therapy service in the field of late effects and to use SPA time to access educational opportunities of personal interest. There are also numerous opportunities to develop an interest in education and teaching at undergraduate and post-graduate levels via the University of Manchester and The Christie School of Oncology and through the close working between the Trust and Health Education England.
