We have an exciting opportunity to welcome a full-time Consultant into the Haematology team and the successful applicants will join our expanding team of motivated Consultants.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Stockport NHS FT Haematology department during a period of growth following on from significant investment from the Trust.

Originally, we had two Haematology Consultants. We are very pleased to confirm that there will now be four in the team, following recruitment to this role.

We have also recently invested in other areas of the team including appointing new Clinical Nurse Specialists, a Junior Clinical Fellow, and a Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner. All of our multidisciplinary team meetings for lymphoid and myeloid disorders are done with the Christie Hospital who we have a close working relationship with sharing knowledge, learnings and expertise.

Outside of the core role, there may be other opportunities that we can explore for those interested, for example becoming a medical appraiser. Stockport is optimally placed with close proximity to Manchester and has very good train links to London. There are very good schools in the private sector, excellent grammar schools, and also very good state schools. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the peak district is also at the doorstep, and the Lake district and Yorkshire dales are within easy reach.

Interview date 20th November

The post-holder will provide comprehensive clinical haematology services across outpatient clinics, day-case activity, inpatient referrals, laboratory liaison, and participation in multidisciplinary meetings. They will jointly manage patients admitted under shared care arrangements and contribute to departmental audit, ongoing research, and quality improvement initiatives. The role includes providing senior clinical decision-making, contributing to service development, and ensuring continuity of care during periods of colleague absence, particularly within day-case activity.

The post-holder will hold ultimate responsibility for the clinical management of patients with malignant and non-malignant haematological conditions, including oversight of chemotherapy, diagnostic pathways, anticoagulation governance, and inpatient referrals.
