Consultant Histopathologist (Skin)
The closing date is 01 June 2026
We are seeking to appoint a Consultant Histopathologist to join our experienced and highly motivated team based at the adult histopathology department at Wythenshawe Hospital (MFT Wythenshawe) (although in the future there may be a requirement to work across our other sites).
This 10 PA post (although less than full time applicants will be considered) will join the histopathology reporting team preferably with a predominant contribution to dermatopathology, although an additional specialty will be considered.
Contribution to each subspecialty will be discussed with the successful appointee based on expertise and service requirements. Other areas of interest that would support service needs include Cardiothoracic and Gastrointestinal pathology.
Main duties of the job
You will join a team of 18 other substantive Consultants in the Histopathology Department at Wythenshawe Hospital.
The main responsibilities of this post would be:
* Together with other Consultant colleagues, be responsible for providing sub specialised Histopathology for its clinical users (Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Tameside & Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and local General Practices). This may include review of slides of patients who are referred in to MFT for further investigation or treatment from other hospitals. The appointee will have the opportunity to participate in cancer multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) in line with their areas of sub specialisation which may involve travel to other sites.
* Participate in Undergraduate and Postgraduate teaching and training. The Trust is committed to teaching Specialty Trainees in Histopathology under the aegis of HENW (Health Education North West). The appointee will also be expected to teach histopathology to other allied health professionals. In line with this, there will be provision to review the SPA allocation in the job plan if an appointee takes up such extra responsibilities leading to increased teaching duties.
