Job description

Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth has a reputation for innovation and excellence, consistently delivering outstanding performance, whilst developing the skills and abilities of our staff. We are delighted to have recently been rated “GOOD” overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

We are seeking a new Consultant colleague to join the Oncology team based at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust specialising in Breast Cancer, with melanoma, or an additional tumour type depending on candidates’ site-specific interests, such as Upper GI, Colorectal, Urology, or indeed an all breast position.

Portsmouth Oncology Centre provides oncological treatments for patients diagnosed with Breast Malignancy at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, St Richards Hospital, Chichester and St Mary’s Hospital Isle of Wight. Each site runs a separate Breast MDT, but common protocols and combined Breast Oncological Educational meetings exist, with all the Breast Oncologists working well as a team. Clinics run at each hospital site with chemotherapy treatment day units at each hospital. All radiotherapy is delivered at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth. There are four Clinical Oncologists supporting the Breast service, and a Consultant Radiographer, with a Consultant Radiographer in training. Portsmouth was one of the first UK centres to implement IMC radiotherapy, offering this technique routinely to suitable patients. Nurse and pharmacy prescribers support the chemotherapy service, in early and metastatic disease, with a programme to continue to develop these and other supportive roles. Portsmouth is a Breast Screening Centre and has specialist oncoplastic and reconstructive services.

Intending applicants are encouraged to discuss their application by contacting Dr Caroline Archer, Clinical Director [e-mail], or Dr Freddie Bartlett, Head of Radiotherapy [e-mail], or phone [phone] ext. 4790 for an informal discussion and/or arrange a visit to the department.
