Consultant in Medical Oncology with Special Interest in Gynaecology
A Vacancy at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust.
We are looking to appoint a Medical Oncologist with Special Interest in Gynaecology
This is a substantive appointment, based predominantly at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood, Middlesex but with commitments at the Luton & Dunstable Hospital. The post comprises 8.375 programmed activities (PAs) and an on-call commitment.
Mount Vernon is a well-respected cancer centre, providing care to over 5,000 new patients a year. It is currently run by East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust (ENHT) and is in the process of merging with University College London Hospital (UCH), a leading tertiary cancer services provider.
Mount Vernon will continue to provide high-quality care for cancer patients during the transition period, which is expected to complete by September 2025.
The cancer centre will move to an established local acute hospital site, with access to intensive care facilities, whilst remaining a separate cancer centre. A networked satellite radiotherapy service will be developed to enhance the provision of cancer care to patients in the north of the area.
We welcome applications from those who would relish the opportunity to be a part of the development of a new state of the art cancer centre.
At Mount Vernon, the post holder will be expected to work with members of the Gynaecology SMDT to plan and supervise the oncology treatment of patients.
At the Luton & Dunstable Hospital site the post holder will work closely with the Gynaecology multidisciplinary team to provide a safe and high-quality outpatient oncology and SACT delivery service.
This re-organised post is available immediately to provide site specific services to the local population and surrounding areas. Out-patient duties and SACT delivery will be at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre and Luton & Dunstable Hospital. The post holder will be joining dynamic teams of surgeons and oncologists with a significant national research reputation in both tumour sites.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
• Maintenance of high-quality patient centered care
• Shared responsibility for the day-to-day management of the service
• Teaching and training within the multidisciplinary service
• Active involvement in multidisciplinary team meetings and directorate clinical governance activity
• Delivery and development of SACT administration
• Active participation in continuing medical education
• Active participation in trial research activities
