Clinical Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Haematology

You will strengthen the clinical academic base of Haematology and contribute to the design and delivery of innovative blood cancer clinical trials within the Patrick G. Johnston Centre for Cancer Research (PGJCCR) and the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT). You will undertake research in line with the Centre’s research strategy, teach at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, contribute to the Centre’s administration/outreach activity and deliver and enhance clinical service in blood cancer, with a focus on leukaemia.

In this post, you will join academic and clinical teams in QUB and BHSCT, specialising in Clinical Haematology, enabling further development of PGJCCR’s research strengths in blood cancer. You will support clinically-informed scientific and translational research and clinical trials with the aim of improving blood cancer outcomes and improving patient quality-of-life by reducing treatment-induced morbidity.

Supported by a multi-professional team, you will be responsible for clinical assessment, prescribing and management of toxicity of treatment throughout the patient journey. You will work with the clinical management team to develop non-medical prescribing and self-directed aftercare and will attend the relevant site-specific MDT, promptly actioning management plans to facilitate new patient assessment within regional cancer access standards.
