Alongside a friendly, multidisciplinary team of dedicated healthcare professionals, you will be using some of the most advanced medical equipment in the country to diagnose, treat, and prevent a range of diseases, making or confirming various diagnoses by studying tissue and fluid samples.

Working flexible shifts at Maidstone And Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, you will identify disease and build an appropriate treatment plan based on your expert knowledge of what the patient is likely to experience in the coming days and weeks.

Using your diagnostic skills, you will determine what tests need to be carried out and interpret the subsequent test results, determining the appropriateness of further investigations. You must then draw upon your superior communication skills to provide this critical information to both patients and your fellow health professionals.

• Examine a range of patients, using your diagnostic skills to determine any tests needed.
• Support and advise clinical staff, advising them of the use and limitations of each diagnostic investigation.
• Provide advice and interpret test results, assessing the appropriateness of further investigations.
• Deliver clinical care to patients where needed and conduct ward rounds and outpatient clinics.
• Oversee the smooth running of the Pathology Department, where required planning the workload and staffing requirements.
• Supervise and teach junior medical staff as required.
• Carry out research and keep up to date with new information.
• Responsible for adhering to the NMC professional Code of Conduct.
