The post specialises in management of patients on the chemotherapy day treatment, acute oncology and outpatient clinics supporting palliative chemotherapy. This post will be a 1-year fixed-term position.

Main duties of the job

The appointee will work across a number of tumour sites allowing them to develop experience in specific tumour sites alongside the consultant specialists.

There will be opportunities for further training and career development relevant to the role.
