Job description

Job summary

The Department of Haematology at UCLH is seeking a Specialist Registrar-level (ST3-ST7) Senior Clinical Fellows to join our team in March 2027 for a period of 12 months. UCLH is one of the largest haematology units in Europe with >100 dedicated inpatient beds in a purpose-built building which opened in 2022. The successful applicant will join a team of >30 haematology registrars who are supervised by >50 haematology consultants covering the entire range of malignant, non-malignant and experimental haematology. The postholder will also participate in the wider haematology on call rota and gain experience in the management of haematological emergencies and liaison haematology.

Applicants should have completed SHO-level training (minimum 4 years postgraduate clinical experience) in internal medicine and/or be an established haematology registrar. The posts are suitable for post-IMT trainees who wish to gain haematology experience in order to secure an NTN, or for existing haematology trainees to gain a consultant post.

We also welcome applications from:

• current UK trainees who are looking to undertake an OOPE or OOPT to broaden their clinical experience.
• suitably qualified haematology doctors who are looking to pursue GMC specialist registration via the CESR route

We can offer in-depth, longer-term clinical and laboratory experience to fulfil the requirements of the UK haematology curriculum.

Main duties of the job

Senior clinical fellow posts cover both inpatients, day care and outpatients on a rotational basis, with numerous opportunities to develop sub-specialty interests. Available posts include bone marrow transplantation, CAR T-cell therapy, haemoglobinopathies, clotting, TTP, laboratory haematology and malignant haematology. The duration of the post is 6 months in the first instance which is extendable to a year or more. The fellow will take part in the on-call rota with prospective cover (band 1B). The post holder must be flexible and prepared to cover the clinical needs of the service on a day-to-day basis.

The training and education opportunities are identical to those of haematology SpRs-in-training and we will support relevant courses for candidate's education and training in discussion with their consultant educational supervisor. There is a strong team approach in a well-supported environment and an emphasis on multi-disciplinary team working and well-being. As a research-active department, there are innumerable opportunities to get involved in clinical research and work towards presenting work at a national or international conference.

The appointee should hold MRCP or equivalent and hold full registration and a licence to practice with the GMC.

Applicants are urged to have at least minimal cover with a medical defence organisation.
