Job description

You will provide a comprehensive Haematology Service in West Norfolk and Wisbech for the Trust.

You will join the current Consultant Haematologists Dr Lisa Cooke (3 days) and Dr Martin Lewis (4 days) to provide a comprehensive laboratory and clinical haematology service.

You will be based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King’s Lynn, but will be encouraged to develop a specialist interest within haematology by spending a day a week at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, contributing to haematology services at King’s Lynn.

The appointed consultant is expected to contribute to ongoing service improvement programs, including:

• Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT)
• Cost Improvement Programme (CIP)
• Implementing evidence-based new ways of working when necessary

There has never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We are working on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital and are undertaking one of our biggest digital transformation projects.

Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based records from 2026, leading to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

At The QEH, we provide a range of specialist, acute, obstetrics, and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs, and South Lincs.

We are an ambitious organization that values kindness, wellness, and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, as demonstrated by our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’. We are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognized learning and apprenticeships.

We recognize and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, fostering a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approximately 530 beds across 33 wards, with newly built education and training facilities, modern award-winning centers, and a talented team ready to welcome you. We love working here and believe you will too.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for further information about this opportunity.

We look forward to hearing from you.
