Locum Consultant Cellular Pathologist interest in GI Pathology
Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 29 day(s) ago
Reference: 196-LCON1217
Job summary
This is a locum post (10 PAs) to cover maternity leave. The Department of Pathology is seeking a locum consultant to join a dynamic and supportive team of colleagues. The post holder is expected to have demonstrable major interest and current experience in gynaecological histopathology. However, other specialist interests would be considered as a minor component of a post, depending on the requirements of the department at the time.
The department is involved in many exciting initiatives and we are looking for an individual with appropriate skills to complement the team and keep the service at the forefront of clinical and academic excellence. The laboratory has full UKAS/ISO accreditation status.
As an organisation, we are committed to developing our services in ways that best suit the needs of our patients. This includes asking certain groups of staff to work more flexibly so that we can offer services to patients in the evenings and at weekends. We regard this flexibility as essential if we are to continue to provide first class patient care in the future. As a result, any offer of employment to a consultant post will be subject to you agreeing to work a new more flexible pattern of working in the future if required and in accordance with the provisions of the new Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust consultant contract.
The post will include working at both hospital sites as well as the new Synnovis Blackfriars Hub Laboratory (near Southwark tube station).
Main duties of the job
Gastro-intestinal pathology:
Responsibilities include the reporting GI specimens (biopsies and resections from upper and lower GI tract, 'surgical' liver biopsies and a few biliary tract biopsies).
GSTT is the Upper gastrointestinal cancer centre for South-east London, Medway and East Kent and regional network referral centre for anal tumours. It is also a tertiary referral centre for coeliac disease, complex Inflammatory Bowel Disease cases, the management of early neoplasia in Barrett's oesophagus and EUS Fine Needle Biopsies (the latter reported by the cytopathologists).
The surgical specimens encompass the standard neoplastic and non-neoplastic resections for upper and lower GI, including oesophago-gastrectomies, but we also specialise in radical and salvage pelvic exenterations for complex/ recurrent colorectal and anal tumours.
We routinely perform cancer predictive marker testing for the GI cancers, in accordance with national guidelines.
There are five MDM's, four weekly and one monthly. These are Upper GI, Local Hepato-pancreaticobiliary, Lower GI and Inflammatory Bowel Disease MDMs weekly.
We are involved in multiple research studies and tissue banking.
We are committed to teaching postgraduate students as well as being involved in the university teaching of undergraduate students.
The team is actively involved in the teaching and training of resident doctors including all aspects of specimen dissection, histological interpretation and report writing.
