Consultant Cellular Pathologist

NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant

Job overview

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are recruiting three Consultant Cellular Pathologists to join an existing team of 16 Consultant Cellular Pathologists across University Hospital Tees.

Whilst the duties of the appointment will be primarily at the hospital(s) stated, the Tees Valley Collaborative Service are creating a processing Hub at North Tees and it is envisaged that medical staff will be required to work from that base site whilst also having a commitment to attend other hospital sites in the employing body.

This post offers the successful candidate exposure to a wide range of interesting pathology in a supportive department. We have good working relationships with our colleagues in neighbouring Trusts and as part of the National Strategic Transformation Plan are actively pursuing closer regional collaboration. A digital imaging project board has been successful in securing bid money to developing a regional digital imaging solution for cellular pathology reporting.
