Summary

A vacancy at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Locum/fixed term Specialty Doctor to join our friendly and enthusiastic team at UHDB on a 6-month fixed term contract.

In-patient therapies are provided on a dedicated, 18 bedded haematology ward, providing BSH level 2b care, including induction treatment and salvage therapies for AMLs and high-grade lymphomas. We have our own Acute Unit for unwell patients (CTAU) run by advanced clinical practitioners with medical supervision and shared with Oncology.

Our department currently accommodates 5 specialist Registrars from the East Midlands Deanery and 3 specialty Doctors. We also have an established teaching program for medical students from the University of Nottingham and overseas.

The appointee will have the opportunity to shape the future of the service. This is an exciting time in the evolution of haematology care at UHDB and we would be pleased to hear from any candidate wishing to consider this role and discuss ours and their vision for this.

We are currently looking to recruit a specialty doctor to join the team as cover for long term sickness, on a fixed term basis. The successful candidate will join the haematology service at UHDB, be actively involved in service development through innovation, restructure and expansion of clinical trials and access to novel therapies.

This is a full-time post based at the Royal Derby Hospital, but any candidate who wishes to work less than full time will be considered and supported, taking into account service needs. Due to the Trust being a merged organisation there is a requirement to work across other sites.

As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together. Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are becoming embedded in all aspects of how we work.

In return we will offer:

• Development opportunities, both professional and leadership development
• On-going support from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.
• Staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes
