Join to apply for the NHS Locum Consultant Haematologist role at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust
You will provide a comprehensive Haematology Service in West Norfolk and Wisbech for the Trust. You will join the current Consultant Haematologists Dr Lisa Cooke (3 days) and Dr Martin Lewis (4 days) to provide a comprehensive laboratory and clinical haematology service.
You will be based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn but will be encouraged to develop a chosen specialist interest within haematology by spending a day a week at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and thus make an individual contribution to haematology services at King’s Lynn.
The appointed consultant would be expected to contribute to the on‑going service improvement programme developing:
* Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT)
* Cost Improvement programme (CIP)
* Implementing evidence‑based new ways of working when necessary
We are working on a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to build a new state‑of‑the‑art hospital and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken. Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper‑based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined‑up care at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At the QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community‑based services to around 331,000 people across West and North Norfolk, North Cambridge and South Lincolnshire. We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as “Good”, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships. We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit.
