We are looking to expand the team to embrace new ways of working within a multidisciplinary haematology team also made up of Consultants, Pharmacists and Specialist doctors.
This is a time of great change within the Haematology service, being driven by a team of staff passionate about providing a safe, robust and quality haematology service within a large coastal and rural landscape.
If you want to maintain a strong patient focus while influencing the future of the Haematology service in Hywel Dda, this may be the job for you, we look forward to you joining us!

The successful applicant will be expected to be on site regularly at both Bronglais General Hospital and Glangwili General Hospital. Clinical Haematology also works across traditional boundaries to provide a Health Board wide service, sometimes involving virtual ways of working.
