Job Description
We are seeking a Consultant Medical Oncologist to join our Oncology team at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust specialising in Lung Cancer.
The Portsmouth Oncology Centre provides cancer care for lung cancer patients at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth and St Richards Hospital in Chichester West Sussex. Each hospital hosts its own Lung MDT; however a cohesive oncology team operates across both sites. Clinics are held at both hospitals with chemotherapy delivered via dedicated day units at each location. Radiotherapy is delivered exclusively at Queen Alexandra Hospital where Lung SABR is fully established including SABR for oligometastatic disease.
The successful candidate will primarily support the lung service in West Sussex with clinics based at St Richards Hospital and will also manage a second tumour site at Portsmouth. This post will add a fourth Medical Oncologist to the Lung Cancer team which currently includes three Clinical Oncologists with a fourth planned.
Both the Portsmouth and Chichester MDTs include thoracic surgeons and operate local clinics. Thoracic surgeries are performed at Southampton and St Georges hospitals. Our respiratory teams offer comprehensive interventional services and both sites are supported by experienced Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) teams. St Richards Hospital manages approximately 100130 new lung cancer cases per year.
We have a well-established and motivated oncology research team with strong support for clinical trial participation and academic collaboration through the University of Portsmouth. Candidates are encouraged to engage in research and pursue academic interests.
The job plan is based on a 10 PA post (8 DCC 2 SPA) incorporating a second tumour site Upper GI HPB or NET. However other tumour specialisms including Breast Urology Colorectal or CUP/AOS can also be considered. Flexible working and part-time applicants are welcome with the primary focus remaining on lung cancer depending on the number of PAs required. Job plans are regularly reviewed.
