Clinical Fellow in Haematology & Oncology

at  Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust

An opportunity has arisen for a junior clinical fellow (FY2/ IMT1/2/3 equivalent) who may be interested in a career in haematology or oncology and wishes to gain further clinical experience, develop relevant specialty-specific clinical skills and enhance their CV. You would work alongside two FY2 and two IMT trainees as one of three clinical fellows who also contribute to the general medical rota. There are in addition two clinical fellows supporting the haematology and oncology service based on the day unit.
The range of pathology encountered in this busy hospital which covers a large catchment area is second to none, and the candidate will gain broad experience in a supported environment which has a healthy culture of learning and a proactive attitude to trainee development.
The candidate would be allocated a clinical supervisor and clinical responsibilities and training needs can be amended according to prior experience, which may be appropriate for those wishing to gain experience as a junior registrar. As a department we have a reputation for developing trainees and several prior fellows have gone on to gain successful ST3 training numbers in both haematology and oncology.
In addition to an excellent clinical experience in haematology and oncology there are many educational opportunities, regular protected structured teaching and opportunities to engage in service development and research projects.
Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.
As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change .
We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
