The Fellow will acquire high level diagnostic skills by supporting the 4 consultants in delivery of the clinical service. The experience and training will provide the successful candidate the opportunity to become a highly competent specialist consultant histopathologist over the 12 months of the fellowship. Ideally, we would like to see the Fellow obtain a sarcoma post for which there is an unmet need across the UK and abroad however the skills acquired in this post would make then competitive for other areas in pathology if that is what they wished to pursue. The appointed individual will undertake the cut up of complex musculoskeletal pathology cases under supervision of a consultant histopathologist, and will supervise more junior / less experienced staff undertaking this task. The individual will draft histopathology reports on specimens received from RNOH and from referred hospitals. In the first instance these reports will be jointly authorised with a consultant histopathologists but with time, it would be expected that the appointee would have gained sufficient knowledge and experience to sign out cases., · Draft the microscopic findings of cases that s/he has cut up and present the reports to a consultant histopathologist for authorisation (with time it would be expected that the appointee would sign out cases independently) · Undertake under supervision the gross analysis of complex specimens (only at RNOH), and /or supervise biomedical staff when undertaking cut up of non-complex cases · Undertake, develop and interpret molecular pathology tests for the diagnostic service · Develop the transformation to digital pathology · Undertake audits of the work performed in the pathology department · To work as a team with other members of the department to ensure that UKAS accreditation is maintained, and that the standards of the service are being continually improved · To participate in biobanking of material for operations performed at RNOH · To participate in CPD · To participate actively in departmental and consultant meetings, The Trust uses electronic new starter forms on Trac to collect personal details. Information collected is securely stored and used to set up the employee record on the ESR HR system. If you are offered a role with one of the NLPSS partner trusts, as part of pre-employment checks your identity and right to work documentation will be verified remotely (in most circumstances), using a certified identity verification service provider TrustID. You will be asked to capture an image of the relevant documents as well as a "selfie" using your smartphone/tablet (if available) for facial matching. TrustID will also perform a digital address check using Trunarrative and Equifax, which is a soft check and does not leave a footprint on your credit rating. For more information, visit www.trustid.co.uk RNOH uses identification scanning technology to confirm the authenticity of documents; all prospective employees of RNOH will have their original documents verified using this technology.

This post has been developed to provide an individual who wishes to excel in the field of pathology the opportunity to develop skills to do just that. The Fellow will be trained in skills which are transferable and have the potential to be usefully employed in all areas of diagnostic pathology. The skills acquired will allow the individual to continue to develop over their career and to respond to changes that are likely to take place over the coming decades because of the greater use of technology. If the Fellow were interested, they could enrol in a post-graduate degree, but this is not a requirement. Will have experience in general pathology including the gross dissection of complex specimens

• Show that that they are interested in developing and modernising the field of pathology,
• Have the ability to develop excellence in the field in some area of the field of pathology
