This post holder will work collaboratively across two trusts that serve a combined population of around 2.5 million people. Both organisations have a Clinical Director and Collaborative group structure to support.  The job is based in James Cook University Hospital with optional sessions in University Hospital North Tees as part of the trust collaborative journey with University Hospital North Tees. This is highly dependent on the applicant’s preferences and it`s flexible.

The vision for the Tees Valley Haematology Service is to move to a single service delivered across all sites through the provision of standard offer for patients across the Tees Valley. This is also consistent with the approach within pathology services. 

The service across the Tees Valley in each respective trust is made up of:
•    South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
•    North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust

The complementary skill mix across the two organisations allows for a collaborative approach to system working with one key ambition – an ever-ambitious aspirant population health outlook for the region.

The Haematology Day units across sites provide supportive care for outpatients and help to facilitate as much time at home as possible for patients. The chemotherapy units are also co-located and administers outpatient chemotherapy regimens.

This post holder will join a network of consultants in haematology services across North Tees and South Tees Foundation Trusts

To achieve effective delivery of clinical services senior staff are called upon to work in an integrated and adaptable manner. To provide some structure for clinical activity and allow allocation of resources the senior staff have a job plan and a work programme. These are jointly reviewed and agreed annually with the Clinical Directors (on behalf of the Chief Executives) to take account of the changes in the workload in both the individual departments and wider Tees Valley service.
