Job summary
Applications are invited for a 10PA Consultant in Paediatric Haematology at Nottingham University Hospitals. The post will involve malignant, benign and laboratory haematology.
Our East Midlands Children's and Young Person's Integrated Cancer Service (EMCYPICS) is a two site principle treatment centre for malignant haematology based across Nottingham and Leicester and takes approximately 140 new malignant patients each year. The post is Nottingham based, but with links via a shared MDT. Nottingham University Hospital Trust is commissioned as a Specialist Haemoglobinopathies Team (SHT) and is part of the East Midlands Sickle and Thalassemia network (EMSTN). We are also a regional referral centre for bleeding disorders. Our inpatient unit houses a teenage cancer trust area, adjacent daycare facilities with a theatre room and access to paediatric intensive care on the same corridor.
The successful applicant will become part of a friendly and collaborative team of 7 consultant haematologists and oncologists. We have strong links with the University of Nottingham, with two team members having academic appointments. There are currently 3 consultants covering the haematology service with one lead each for leukaemia, haemostasis and red cell disorders. Nottingham and the surrounding area is a beautiful place to live with outstanding nearby schools and excellent transport links to other major cities.
Main duties of the job

We care for patients post autologous stem cell transplant but allogeneic transplants occur in Sheffield. The post is for 10PAs but applications from those wishing to consider job share or more flexible arrangements are also invited.
