The haematology team at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) are looking for an enthusiastic colleague to join our friendly and forward thinking service. The successful candidate will have an interest in non-malignant haematology; red cells and general haematology are essential requirements but there is flexibility in the remainder of the job plan based on the specific interest of the successful candidate. The appointee will join a team of 5 consultants and 1 associate specialist haematologists and will participate in a non-malignant haematology, non-resident on call on a 1 in 5 basis.

NUH is one of the largest acute teaching hospitals in the UK and is host to centres of excellence for clinical research, life sciences and technology.

Main duties of the job

Our team provide a specialist haemoglobinopathy service for patients in Nottinghamshire in collaboration with the East Midlands Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Network. We are supported by 2 paediatric haematologists, 4 specialist nurses and our local haemoglobinopathy coordinating centres for sickle cell and thalassaemia in Leicester and Birmingham respectively. The general haematology service covers a wide range of diagnoses including immune haematology and myeloproliferative diseases and also receives specialist nursing support. NUH became a regional centre for the management of TTP in November 2021, forming the East Midlands TTP Network as a joint collaboration with the University Hospitals of Leicester. Patients from across the region are referred into Nottingham for management and the post holder will provide on call cover for this service.

The team is supported by the Nottingham Haemostasis and Thrombosis Reference Laboratory which is based on site. 

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

The successful candidate will provide senior support for the non-malignant clinical and laboratory services and attend clinics in red cells and general haematology.
