• Within a team, be jointly responsible for running an in-patient and out-patient service for haematology including an advisory service for colleagues and primary care via REGO Advice and Guidance.
• Participate with colleagues in the education, training and professional development of medical and other professional staff for whom they are responsible.
• Involvement in the post-graduate and undergraduate teaching programme and General Practitioner education.
