Job overview
Locum Consultant in Medical Oncology with interests in Breast and Ovarian Cancers
This job description is for a 10PA Locum Consultant medical oncologist post. The post is based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH).
This post is fixed term for a period of 1 year and is designed as a replacement created due to retirement of the previous post holder. Candidates should have a primary interest in breast and ovarian cancers, although other secondary interests may be accommodated. The post holder will be joining a team of three clinical oncologists and one medical oncologist in the Breast Team, and two clinical oncologists in the Gynae Team who also help deliver medical oncology therapies.
Main duties of the job
The appointee will join a young, dynamic team with considerable collective expertise and a desire to provide world class, evidence-based, patient-centred care to the local population and beyond. The predominant referrals include patients with breast, lung, urology and colorectal cancers as well as the less common gynaecological tumours, lymphomas, upper GI and Head & Neck cancers, brain tumours, skin cancers, neuro-endocrine cancers and sarcomas. Most patients are treated on standard protocols and many are entered into clinical trials. Neurosurgery, Hepatic surgery and specialist paediatric services are provided at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.
The clinical team provides specialist oncology services to the Norfolk population of 900,000 people. A team-based approach in the department includes holding parallel new patient clinics, team-based complex case meetings and ward rounds as well as collaborating in service development.
