University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full-time NHS appointment at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) to enhance and develop pathways of care for patients living with cancer in emergency, acute assessment, elective day care, and clinic settings. The postholder will play a key role in service development, including the creation of a Cancer Assessment Unit and corresponding care pathways, and will support audits and evaluations of this service to drive continuous improvement. This post would be suitable for a senior trainee (ST3+ level) who intends to pursue an academic or NHS oncology career. The post holder will be responsible to the Lead Clinician for Acute Oncology at UCH. GMC Registration and NHS experience is essential. Possession of MRCP or equivalent is desirable. Specialist training in clinical or medical oncology with experience in delivery of chemotherapy is desirable. The clinical sessions will be based in the cancer centre day unit, clinics and the inpatient wards/emergency department, but the post holder may need to see some patients at other locations within the Trust. The post holder will have the same education and training opportunities provided to trainees, with the same study leave benefits. Main duties of the job
The aim of this post is to support the transfer of care from the Emergency Department to inpatient and outpatient settings, facilitating timely transitions into the day care environment within the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre. The postholder will also contribute to audits, service reviews, and potential research projects related to the Cancer Assessment Unit and overall cancer pathways. This will primarily be a clinical service provision post, assisting the Acute Oncology Service at UCLH. About us
