Job summary
We are seeking a new Consultant colleague to join the Oncology team based at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust specialising in Breast Cancer, with melanoma, or an additional tumour type depending on candidates site-specific interests, such as Upper GI, Colorectal, Urology, or indeed an all Breast cancer position.
Portsmouth Oncology Centre provides oncological treatments for patients diagnosed with Breast Malignancy at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, St Richards Hospital, Chichester and St Marys Hospital Isle of Wight. Each site runs a separate Breast MDT, but common protocols and combined Breast Oncological Educational meetings exist, with all the Breast Oncologists working well as a team. Clinics run at each hospital site with chemotherapy treatment day units at each hospital. All radiotherapy is delivered at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth. There are four Clinical Oncologists supporting the Breast service, and a Consultant Radiographer, with a Consultant Radiographer in training. Portsmouth was one of the first UK centres to implement IMC radiotherapy, offering this technique routinely to suitable patients. Nurse and pharmacy prescribers support the chemotherapy service, in early and metastatic disease, with a programme to continue to develop these and other supportive roles. Portsmouth is a Breast Screening Centre and has specialist oncoplastic and reconstructive services.
Main duties of the job
