Working flexible shifts at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, you will enjoy close working relationships with your healthcare colleagues as you work to ensure the highest standards of care are provided to patients of all ages with both benign and malignant conditions. You will also be a pillar of clinical and educational support for junior Haematologists.

The Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust takes their contribution to medical development and the advancement of all aspects of haematology, both clinical and laboratory, seriously. As a result, you will have access to some of the most advanced medical equipment in the country and unparalleled opportunities for specialization, research, and academia throughout your consultancy.

As a Haematology Consultant, you will divide your time between the ward, outpatient clinic, and laboratory, often attending other specialty areas including high dependency and intensive care units. Working alongside a cohesive team of dynamic, motivated, and progressive consultants, each with their own subspecialty interests, you will provide advisory and consultancy services to hospital specialists and general practitioners.
