Job summary
There is an exciting opportunity to join the dynamic Oncology Team at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, in a locum role covering Neuroendocrine and GI oncology in a growing service in Northwest London. ICHT is the regional cancer centre for an inner North West London population of approximately 2 million and is the largest recruiting centre to clinical trials in this sector.

This is a new additional post due to expansion of clinical activity, and to support research priorities for the trust. This post as per current job plan would ideally suit a medical oncologist although expressions of interest from clinical oncologists with a specialist interest in systemic anticancer treatments for these tumour sites, would also be welcome. This post is a new post, locum for one year, with a view to substantive appointment.

The Trust offers specialist care for almost all cancers (excluding paediatrics and sarcoma) and is a lead site for the National Gestational Trophoblastic Disease service (only one of 2 centres in England). There is a 50% component of the work at both ICHNHST and Frimley Health NHS Foundation and 50% ICHNHST. The former consists of working on the King Edward VII (outpatients) Windsor, and Wexham Park Hospital sites. The rest of the weekly responsibilities are out-patient clinics at Hammersmith Hospital (with occasional Charing Cross site for the inpatient care rotation shared by all consultants).

• Work collaboratively with the ICHT NET team across oncology, surgery, endocrine and nuclear med teams to provide care to patients of Northwest London and wider networked units
