Job summary
Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust wish to appoint a Consultant Histopathologist following the retirement of Professor Norman Carr. The post-holder will provide specialist diagnostic services to the Peritoneal Malignancy Institute (PMI), located at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (BNHH). The Institute specialises in treating pseudomyxoma peritonei, metastatic colorectal cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma, and it is expected the post holder will have or will develop expertise in the pathology of these diseases.
