Clinical Fellow in Paediatric Haematology and Oncology

The appointee will be given broad training in the care of children with leukaemia, solid tumours and BMT both in the outpatient and inpatient setting and will be responsible for their day-to-day management. The appointee will work as part of a team with the other junior and middle grade doctors to provide daytime cover (team of 24 junior and middle grade doctors). The appointee will gain experience in various clinical settings i.e. inpatient Haematology, inpatient oncology, daycare/outpatients and inpatient BMT (including CAR-T cell therapy).

Training and supervision will be given in all aspects of the work as required, including the prescribing, handling and administration of chemotherapy including intrathecal chemotherapy, practical procedures such as bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy, and MDT participation. Within six months it is expected that the appointee will have achieved core competencies in the care of children with malignant disease, and the level of responsibility assigned to the fellow thereafter will reflect their level of prior experience in paediatric haematology/oncology/BMT and personal development plan.
