CLINICAL FELLOW (ST1-2) IN SOLID TUMOUR ONCOLOGY | Barts Health NHS Trust

We are recruiting to the post of Clinical Fellow (FY2-ST1-2 Equivalent Grade) in Solid tumour oncology to commence from November 2024. The post will be available for 12 months on a fixed-term basis. This post is based in the recently re-built state-of-the-art facilities at the Barts Cancer Centre at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in the City of London, rated overall as 'Good' in a 2017 CQC inspection, with some 'Outstanding' areas. The centre is a major tertiary referral centre for all forms of malignant disease in adults, providing cancer services to a population of more than one and a half million people in East London and the City. We specialise in the delivery of inpatient and outpatient chemotherapy, immunotherapy and high-dose therapies, and run a large clinical trials service. The post would be suitable for experienced doctors who have completed Foundation and Core Medical competencies (or equivalent), and wish to gain a period of focussed experience and training in a medical specialty in which they are interested in pursuing ST3 training. They would be suitable for candidates who are attempting the second parts of the MRCP (see section 3 below). Less experienced candidates will certainly be considered and are encouraged to apply. We take pride in the educational and supportive program we deliver for our junior doctors, and have an excellent track record in helping our clinical fellows reach their educational and training goals. Duties will include:

• Daily review of in-patients usually with the SpR and/or Consultant
• Ward duties including practical procedures and MDT meetings
• Support for the FY1s
• Review of new admissions
• Outpatient experience in oncology clinics and radiotherapy
• Experience of relevant sub-specialty procedures
• Review of patients attending the day units
