Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (BHNFT) and The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust (TRFT) are working together in partnership to develop an integrated Haematology service delivering Consultant-led care across the two sites, serving a joint population of approximately 500,000.
We are currently looking to appoint two Consultants into the Haematology partnership to join the team initially on the Barnsley District General Hospital site. We are committed to move to a combined Inpatient model to create a single-site Inpatient facility at the Rotherham site, serving a combined population of approximately 500,000. Combining services across the two sites will lead to greater resilience in delivering emerging therapies such as Bi-specifics, with scope for sub-speciality interest development.
If you are a dynamic, enthusiastic and passionate Haematologist looking to work in an expanding service, get in touch to see what this job can offer you.
