    Job description

    Job responsibilities

    Role Purpose.

    The medical oncologist appointed will work with the Breast team to provide a comprehensive clinical service for Breast patients. This includes patients in the outpatient, inpatient and ambulatory settings, delivering Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) and providing Medical Oncology input to the Breast MDT.

    The Breast Disease Group, Chaired by Dr Anne Armstrong and Dr Vivek Misra consists of 9 Clinical and 8 Medical Oncologists. These oncologists manage all of the breast cancers diagnosed within the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cancer Network, with many oncologists delivering a peripheral service through MDTs and clinics. Systemic therapy is delivered centrally or given to patients at peripheral or outreach clinics according to agreed protocols. Radiotherapy is delivered at The Christie or at satellite units in Salford and Oldham.

    This year the whole Medical Oncology team will see around 940 New patients and around 14,000 Follow up patients through the Breast team clinics.

    All Disease Group consultants work as part of a multi-disciplinary team supporting the delivery of this work including Nurse Clinicians, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Clinical Fellows, Specialist Trainees, Pharmacists and Research Nurses

    The Disease Group has a strong emphasis on research with an active systemic therapy and radiotherapy trial portfolio supported by 7 Research Nurses and 5 Clinical Trial Administrators. The Breast Disease Research Sub-group has a 6-weekly business meeting to which all members of the Disease Group are invited.

    DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

    The appointee will be based at The Christie and will provide senior input to Outpatient clinics, Chemotherapy Services and Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings

    The role will be responsible for:

  • Management of Breast patients receiving standard and clinical trials including treatment decisions and ongoing care.
  • Participating in all relevant aspects of clinical governance, including maintaining up to date protocols, guidelines and clinical audit, under the supervision of the other consultants in in the unit
  • Contribute to current research projects and establish new opportunities to expand and develop research within the team.
  • Revision and development of evidence-based protocols for patients and undertaking the administrative duties associated with the care of their patients.
  • Maintaining a level of continuing professional development consistent the recommendations of the Royal College and Physicians
  • Contributing to the undergraduate teaching of medical students on oncology topics
  • Providing lectures for the busy postgraduate teaching programme.
  • Actively contributing to the training of juniors doctors and other multi-disciplinary team members in both in-patient and outpatient department
  • Undertake clinical audit as a member of The Christie Medical Staff Committee.

    • In addition, consultants in the department share in an on-call rota that involves a commitment to a full week in every twenty weeks. This covers the Specialist Registrar who is second on-call. The on-call consultant provides a post-take ward round each morning to review all newly admitted patients and any sick patients escalated by the team. This takes place seven days per week. Given the low frequency of on-call (1:20) the PAs associated with the predictable element of weekend on-call work form part of the job plan rather than time in lieu. This may be reviewed in the future if requirements for on-call change.

    The post holder will have access to office accommodation with computer, intranet and internet and secretarial support.
