Join to apply for the Consultant Clinical Scientist in Virology role at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust

Applications are invited for a full-time or less than full-time Consultant Medical Virologist or Consultant Clinical Scientist in Virology at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH).

This Consultant Clinical Scientist post is designed to support the provision of a high-quality infection management service at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH). The post holder will join a team of three Virology Consultants (two Consultants in Infectious Diseases and Virology and one Consultant Clinical Scientist) to deliver the Clinical Virology Service.

Consultant Clinical Scientist applicants must be registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), hold a PhD in a relevant subject, and Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists by examination.

Applications for less than full-time working are invited and modification of the job content can be discussed on a personal basis with the Head of Service in consultation with Consultant colleagues.

The successful candidate will be expected to participate in the provision of a comprehensive clinical Virology service, including undertaking laboratory duties, results authorisation and interpretation, issuing advice on virological infection and the use of antiviral therapies, patient consults, ward rounds and multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs), infection prevention and control liaison, clinical governance, teaching and training. There are monthly Clinical Operations meetings within the Microbiology service, to which all consultant and senior laboratory staff are invited to attend and contribute. The laboratory works closely with the School of Life Sciences, University of Nottingham and there will be opportunities to develop research interests.

The Microbiology laboratory is a large NHS laboratory serving both NUH campuses, as well as Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust and The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board with a total population of ~640,000. The current service workload based on recent activity data is approximately 918,000 with 604,000 bacteriology and 314,000 virology/serology work types a year, two thirds of which is acute hospital diagnostic work and the remaining one third of the work is for general practitioners. The Clinical Virology team are integrated within the Clinical Microbiology Department and also work closely with the Infection Prevention and Control Team.

A large number of clinical specialties are provided at NUH, and the Clinical Virology service is actively involved in the management of Virological infections with regular ward rounds and liaison with specialist units such as Critical Care, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics (including a PICU and two large neonatal units), Clinical Haematology (including bone marrow transplantation and CAR T-Cell therapy), Oncology, Renal Dialysis, Renal Transplantation, Hepatology (including a regional hepatitis network), Infectious Diseases & Genito-Urinary Medicine (both providing HIV services).
