Consultant Haematologist (Clinical and Laboratory) with a special interest in Paediatric Haematopoietic Stem Cell transplantation

Scope of the Role:

The National Childrens Cancer Service (NCCS) at Childrens Health Ireland (CHI) Crumlin provides diagnosis and treatment to all children and adolescents (015 yrs 364 days) with cancer in Ireland. This comprises those with solid tumors (Oncology) and those with Haematological malignancies (Leukaemia and lymphoma). The NCCS also incorporates the National Centre for Paediatric Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) and is aligned with the National Cancer Control Programme.

The activity of the NCCS has significantly increased in both size and complexity over the past number of years. Comprehensive care for children and adolescents with cancer is delivered by robust clinically governed programmes and patient pathways. Treatment for Paediatric Leukaemia and lymphoma (collectively referred to as Haematological Malignancies) is planned according to internationally recognised best practice and is delivered according to international treatment protocols. The majority of patients with Haematological Malignancies are enrolled on Clinical Trials and treatment is delivered by robust clinically governed programmes. This requires on-going collaborative discussions at MDT level with other CCLG centres.
