The post will have a formal induction process to familiarise you with the hospital, department and specialty. If it is appropriate, this will include an introduction to safe laboratory practice and basic diagnostic skills relating to laboratory work relevant to haemostasis and thrombosis. Further induction requirements will be assessed on an individual's previous experience and educational needs.
Clinical and Laboratory
This post will support the on-going delivery of the service specification for Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. This includes caring for the patients with a known diagnosis within the wider multi-disciplinary team, such as at specialist clinics and MDT meetings.

2. Liaise with nurses, doctors, patients, relatives and senior medical staff regarding TTP patients
3. Attend and participate in ward rounds as timetabled
4. Attend and participate in outpatient clinics, focusing on H&T/TTP
5. Attend weekly educational and multidisciplinary sessions
6. Supporting delivery of educational sessions relevant to TTP
7. Design and deliver educational resources relevant to TTP across the TTP network
8. Design and deliver outreach services relevant to TTP across the TTP network
9. Co-operate with members of the personnel department when monitoring hours of work and other personnel issues
10. Support H&T research activity
11. Attend induction in each hospital or new department
12. Comply with all local policies including dress code, annual and study leave
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals
- high-quality care for all
- being a great place to work
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate
- we are proud
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
