NUH Hepatobiliary Cancer Team
This is a new post within the HPB team at NUH. It is primarily to support NUH's growing specialist interest in HPB radiotherapy and to develop good cross‑team working with the upper GI radiotherapy team. NUH is one of few centres in the UK treating HCC with SABR and has a regional lead in the East Midlands for SABR HC and liver oligometastases and SABR/IMRT chemoradiotherapy in pancreas. NUH also has a strong SACT trial portfolio for these patients.
KMH Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) Cancer Team
You will join an enthusiastic and supportive team to deliver the UGI radiotherapy and SACT oncology service at KMH. The UGI service at KMH benefits from a weekly joint MDT hosted from NUH. Our surgical colleagues also attend KMH weekly to assess patients and progress their care.
The KMH UGI oncology clinic is supported by a three‑person UGI CNS team and a support worker. This team also cross‑covers support for the smaller HPB CNS team where needed. KMH hosts its own clinical trials team and welcomes hosting trials or acting as a pick site when required.
NUH Early Breast Cancer Radiotherapy Team
You will join an expanding, enthusiastic multidisciplinary team treating early breast cancers. NUH has a renowned breast cancer service and an active programme in clinical research. At NUH (City Campus) you will have a specific interest in early breast cancer radiotherapy and adjuvant endocrine treatment.
