Each MDT has a lead consultant and the meetings are covered by rota of between three and five consultants. The post holder will be expected to contribute to at least 2 MDT meetings and to develop subspecialty interest in these disease areas.

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust supports the identification of 2.5 SPA for full-time employees to include audit, CPD, teaching and research and commits to manage this in a high trust, low bureaucracy fashion. The exact timing and location of SPA, and flexibility around these, will be agreed with the Clinical Director and be included in the prospective job plan, subject to annual review and appraisal.
