Consultant Haematologist with a special interest in red cell disorders

The successful applicant will join the red cell team at UCLH and help to drive and develop this key service.

The role will involve the inpatient and outpatient care of patients with red cell disorders. While this is primarily an adult post, there is scope for participation in a paediatric red cell clinic, if the candidate has a paediatric interest. Similarly, there is also scope for developing the transition element, for young adults moving from the paediatric service into the adult one, if the successful applicant has an appropriate interest.

The role will involve up to three red cell clinics per week, either fully within the adult service or with an alternate week paediatric clinic, as above. The appointee will be expected to attend the weekly red cell MDT.

Main duties of the job: Attending and on call will be for the adult red cell service at UCLH. Children with red cell disorders are admitted under the paediatric team with the input of the red cell team. This will involve direct care of inpatients with red cell disorders as well as answering queries around outpatients and daycase patients with red cell disorders and external referrals. Out of hours on call will involve care of patients with red cell disorders. There will be no commitment to transfusion, although the post-holder may be required to liaise with the Trust lead for BT +/- other staff during working hours, in order to provide a safe and seamless service.

Applicants should have an interest in red cell disorders, experience in clinical research and preferably a higher medical degree in this or a related area.

The appointee would be expected to support research within areas identified and develop their own particular area of interest. Collaboration with other investigators is encouraged.

The salary for this position is £113,565 to £150,569 per annum.
