Job description

CONSULTANT HAEMATOLOGIST WITH AN INTEREST IN RED CELLS AND NON MALIGNANT HAEMATOLOGY

The haematology team at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) are looking for an enthusiastic colleague to join our friendly and forward‑thinking service. The successful candidate will have an interest in non‑malignant haematology; red cells and general haematology are essential requirements but there is flexibility in the remainder of the job plan based on the specific interest of the successful candidate. The appointee will join a team of five consultants and one associate specialist haematologist and will participate in a non‑malignant haematology service, non‑resident on call on a 1 in 5 basis.

NUH is one of the largest acute teaching hospitals in the UK and is host to centres of excellence for clinical research, life sciences and technology. We play a vital role in education and training and, as a teaching trust, we have a strong relationship with our colleagues at the universities across the East Midlands. Our team provides a specialist haemoglobinopathy service for patients in Nottinghamshire in collaboration with the East Midlands Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Network, supported by two paediatric haematologists, four specialist nurses and local haemoglobinopathy coordinating centres in Leicester and Birmingham. The general haematology service covers a wide range of diagnoses, including immune haematology and myeloproliferative diseases, and also receives specialist nursing support. NUH became a regional centre for the management of TTP in November 2021, forming the East Midlands TTP Network with the University Hospitals of Leicester. Patients from across the region are referred to Nottingham for management, and the post holder will provide on‑call cover for this service.

Queen’s Medical Centre Campus hosts the specialist Nottingham Haemostasis and Thrombosis services, which include the Comprehensive Care Centre for Haemophilia. There is also a busy liaison service for haemostasis and thrombosis across both trusts, and the H & T clinical teams supervise the nurse‑led anticoagulation and DVT follow‑up services. The team is supported by the Nottingham Haemostasis and Thrombosis Reference Laboratory, which is based on site.

The successful candidate will provide senior support for the non‑malignant clinical and laboratory services and attend clinics in red cells and general haematology. There is flexibility in the job plan to undertake further clinical work in a related area of non‑malignant haematology, depending on the interest of the candidate. Inpatient attending is on an alternate month basis, shared with and supported by the consultant team. The role can incorporate undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, educational supervision, research, leadership roles within the specialty, depending on the interest of the individual.

We particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, or Disabled, as we are striving to be better represented at NUH.
