This is a full-time temporary position for an initial period of 12-24 months, for a Senior Clinical Fellow in Gynaecology Oncology SpR/ST3+. Oncology services run from both Queen’s and King George Hospitals as well as from the independent sector across London and Essex.
The clinical activities of each of the three existing Gynae Oncology Consultants include weekly One Stop clinics, gynaecological clinics, theatres and both local MDT and regional MDT at the Royal London Hospital.
Responsibility for inpatients at Queens Hospital and reviewing referrals is included in this post along with regular reviewing of patients on the PTL.
The post will provide excellent opportunities to learn minimal access techniques in gynaecological oncology, to run independent and consultant led outpatient gynaecological oncology clinics, take part in MDT, and assist in surgery.
The service is extremely busy running a weekly local MDT, taking part in a tertiary centre MDT at Barts NHS Trust, running one-stop clinics and providing elective care treatment to patients with gynaecology oncology presentations.
The day-to-day duties of the gynaecology oncology fellow are subject to changes in line with service need and being flexible is essential for this role.
The post holder will be expected to work closely with the multidisciplinary and management teams to ensure effective management of clinical pathways.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
