• Perform bone marrow aspirates and trephines on a 1 in 8 basis as part of the theatre rota

The post holder will share in the day-to-day supervision of junior medical staff in the department and may deputise for absent colleagues, performing additional duties during emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.
