Description

This postholder will work across UCLH's general haematology outpatient service, SIHMDS and red cell inpatient services, working with colleagues in clinical and laboratory haematology at UCLH, as well as a number of partners at other organisations.

The general haematology diagnostic service is currently undergoing service transformation and this is a great opportunity for the postholder to be involved in shaping the future of the service and transforming and improving patient pathways.

We are looking for a dynamic individual who can lead on initiatives such as straight to test pathways, our advice and guidance service, engagement with primary care and use of data analytics to improve our service offer.

The successful applicant will be expected to join the general haematology diagnostic service at UCLH and help to drive and develop this growing and important service.

The applicant will join one of the two weekly diagnostic clinics, in addition to which there is an advice and guidance service for local GPs (delivered by ST3+ trainees and overseen by SIHMDS consultants), with a separate system for giving general haematology advice within the Trust.

The scope of the service is widening and the post-holder would be encouraged to review this and make recommendations for potential development.

The applicant will join the SIHMDS team delivering laboratory diagnostics two sessions per week.

The applicant will also join the red cell service at UCLH to manage the inpatient care of patients with red cell disorders at UCLH.

The role will involve one adult diagnostic haematology clinics per week and potentially an additional specialty clinic. The appointee will be expected to attend the red cell MDT when attending.

Attending and on call will be for the red cell service at UCLH only. This will involve care of inpatients with red cell disorders.

Out of hours on call will involve care of patients with red cell disorders and may also involve out-of-hour transfusion cover, where the issue is not major haemorrhage or coagulopathy.

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) is one of the most complex NHS trusts in the UK, serving a large and diverse population.

We provide academically-led acute and specialist services, to people from the local area, from throughout the United Kingdom and overseas.

Our vision is to deliver top-quality patient care, excellent education and world-class research.

We provide first-class acute and specialist services across eight sites:
University College Hospital (incorporating the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Wing)
National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery
Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital
Eastman Dental Hospital
Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine
University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre
The Hospital for Tropical Diseases
University College Hospitals at Westmoreland Street

We are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of many complex illnesses. UCLH specialises in women's health and the treatment of cancer, infection, neurological, gastrointestinal and oral disease. It has world class support services including critical care, imaging, nuclear medicine and pathology.

At UCLH, we have a real 'One Team' ethos, and our values - safety, kindness, teamwork and improving, are central to the way we work.

This is supported by our staff, who voted us as the #1 NHS Acute Trust to work for in the whole of England.

The primary commitment will be undertaking clinical duties, supporting and developing the general haematology diagnostic service at UCLH and the SIHMDS and joining the red cell service to deliver inpatient care.

Participation in regional and national meetings is important with the aim of developing a national profile.

Clinical work will be outpatient-centred in the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre and involve inpatient attending on a rotational basis. Active participation in MDTs, audit and research is required.

The post-holder will be expected to take part both in the teaching of medical undergraduates and the supervision and training of junior doctors.
