Main duties

The post requires malignant and general haematological work. Candidates with any field of interest are encouraged to apply.

The development of a special interest by the appointee is encouraged and would be in line with the clinical interest of the Health Board.

Collaborative work with neighbouring health boards and trusts is also being explored.
