Job Overview This is a whole-time post for a Clinical Fellow in Clinical Haematology at the Royal United Hospital, Bath. An exciting opportunity exists for a motivated and ambitious individual to join a dynamic team. The majority of the workload relates to patients with haematological malignancies including acute and chronic leukaemias, high and low grade lymphomas, myeloma and myelodysplasia. According to the British Committee for Standards in Haematology, we offer a level 3 service which means we treat patients with every form of chemotherapy including autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation but not allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Potential allograft recipients are referred to Bristol as are patients requiring regular plasma exchange e.g. patients presenting with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. We manage a small number of patients with haemoglobinopathies and patients with haemostatic disorders are managed in collaboration with colleagues at the Haemophilia Centre in Bristol. Main duties of the job The post holder will work between the day unit and the inpatient ward which are shared with oncology. William Budd Ward is a 22 bedded ward for the treatment of in-patients with haematological and oncological conditions. The post holder will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the haematology in-patients which normally comprise the majority of the patients on the ward. This includes clerking of patients being admitted for in-patient chemotherapy and a limited number of patients being admitted directly to the ward with emergency problems e.g. new presentations of acute leukaemia and patients with neutropenic sepsis. However, most acute admissions for haematology patients, especially those out-of-hours, are via the Emergency Department and the Medical Assessment Unit. The post holder will also be expected to assist the SpRs with the management of patients on the Day Unit. This will include patient review and performing investigations including bone marrow aspirate and trephine biopsies and lumbar puncture for which appropriate training will be provided.
