Job summary

This is a substantive full time post based at both Peterborough City Hospital and Hinchingbrooke Hospital, which is part of North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust which was formed in April 2017 following a merger of Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Hinchingbrooke Healthcare Trust. The post holder will be expected to provide sessions at both hospitals to deliver Outpatient clinics, Day Unit and Inpatient care of patients with both malignant and non-malignant haematological disorders. Duties will include offering Consultative Haematology services to other hospital clinicians and general practitioners and to provide Laboratory Haematology cover.
