Job description

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

This 6-month locum post is an exciting opportunity to join the dynamic Haematology Team at University Hospital Southampton. We are looking for a team player with an interest in myeloma and general haematology, and enthusiasm for liaison haematology. You will work as part of the myeloma and combined haematology teams alongside other clinical and laboratory colleagues with specialist interests.

You will be joining our team of 21 consultants, who work closely alongside teams of resident doctors and specialist nurses covering all specialist areas of haematology. Our teams work with a range of regional services including oncology, paediatrics, obstetrics and major trauma.

Southampton lies adjacent to the beautiful New Forest and its beaches, and is close to the historic town of Winchester. There are direct transport links across the country, including London and Oxford. We collaborate with haematology colleagues across the Wessex and Thames Valley regions and there are opportunities to develop regional pathways. Our trust supports the development of consultants, including a Doctors’ Development Unit that provides mentoring and coaching.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

Main duties

• Management of patients with myeloma and related disorders in the inpatient, day case and outpatient setting.
• Management of patients referred for and treated with autologous stem cell transplant
• Inpatient ward attending on a 1:3 basis covering “combined haematology” including inpatient management of myeloma, myeloid and non-malignant haematology cases with support from subspecialty colleagues
• Undertaking the triage of new referrals and advice and guidance to primary care and the wider trust
• Management of patients in the general haematology outpatient clinic
• Contributing to the delivery of the consultative and liaison haematology service in association with other consultant colleagues and haematology trainees
• Participating in the non-resident 1:6 out of hours consultant rota for combined haematology.
