The clinical genetics team is comprised of a group of experienced clinicians (10 (8.6 WTE) Consultants, 14 Genetic Counsellors with a wide range of specialist interests, a number of trainees, and Genomic Associates). The service also offers multidisciplinary clinics with colleagues at Imperial Hospital Healthcare Trust and other sites. Clinical Genetics falls under the Division of Integrated Clinical Services.

Applications for a Clinical Fellow in Clinical Genetics in Rare Diseases and/or Cancer are welcome.

The clinical fellow would need to show some flexibility in accordance with the demands of the service and be able to provide both face-to-face, virtual, and telephone consultations. There may need to be a degree of flexibility on the working days in the week. Some travel to peripheral clinics will probably also be required.

It would be possible for the clinical fellow to indicate an interest in certain groups of conditions, which may then be channelled to the clinical fellow’s clinics. The clinical fellow would be encouraged to participate in audit and the departmental clinical governance.

London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWH) cares for the people of Brent, Ealing, Harrow and beyond.

Our team of more than 8,200 clinical and support staff serve a diverse population of almost one million people.

We run major acute services at:

• Northwick Park Hospital: home to one of the busiest emergency departments (A&E) in the country. The hospital provides a full range of services including the country’s top-rated hyper-acute stroke unit and one of only three hyper-acute rehabilitation units in the UK
• St Mark’s Hospital: an internationally renowned specialist centre for bowel disease
• Ealing Hospital: a busy district general hospital providing a range of clinical services, as well as 24/7 emergency department and urgent care centre, and specialist care at Meadow House Hospice
• Central Middlesex Hospital: our planned care site, hosting a range of surgical and outpatient services and collocated with an urgent care centre.

We are a university teaching NHS trust, in recognition of the important role we play in training clinicians of the future and bringing the benefits of research to the public.

The clinical fellow will be required to provide Clinical Genetics services for both children and adults in NWTRGS. This will include running rare disease clinics, prenatal work, and may also include running cancer genetics clinics. This would involve evaluating, diagnosing and managing individuals and families referred to the NWTRG service. This would include arranging the appropriate investigations and managing the results in a timely manner, liaising with the Clinical Scientists in the Genomic Laboratory Hubs, and making the appropriate referrals. There will also be a requirement to attend relevant MDTs.
