Job overview

The appointee will join the other Consultant Histopathologists in the Department to form a Team which provides diagnostic histopathology, non-cervical cytopathology and autopsy services (if desired).

This post is for a general Histopathologist with a specific interest in GI and/ or Breast pathology. Please specify your clinical interests clearly in your application form.

The department is predominantly made up of Consultant Histopathologists which are sub-specialised but also participate in the reporting of general “pooled” specimens.

The appointee will contribute to all subspecialist work of the Department but with a focus on GI and or Breast. The successful candidate would be expected to contribute to the two weekly breast MDT rota. This may include histological review of cases referred to BTHFT for MDT discussion and treatment. Consultants within the department, where possible, take a flexible approach to sub-specialisation so that all areas are supported to a degree commensurate with the workload in that speciality. All consultants are expected to contribute, on a rotational basis, to the weekly skin MDT.
