Job Summary

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to fill this vacant, 6 month, 10 PA locum post within the busy department of Haematology at St James’s University Hospital.

In relation to this post, the appointee will specifically be helping to further develop and support myeloid services (acute leukaemias, myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders). The myeloid team provides level 3 service to Leeds, Harrogate and Huddersfield patients and works closely with the bone marrow transplant team and CAR-T team. Myeloid service is a busy inpatient and outpatient service with multiple clinical trials running, which recruit locally and regionally. We also support and advise our regional colleagues on patient management and provide region-wide MDT services for patients with myeloid disorders. They will join a large and established team delivering the full breadth of haematology services across Yorkshire and beyond with extensive research activity. We also provide TYA services for myeloid malignancies for the region, including East Yorkshire.

(Red cell disorder). The service is also supported by number of other consultants (including Dr

Catherine Cargo (HMDS), Dr Marina Karakantza (Transfusion), Dr Alesia Kahn (HMDS) and Dr

Katja Kimberger (ALL CAR-T). The post holder will have some shared input into benign General

Haematology services,

What you will bring to the role

The appointee’s role will be to further develop and support the established specialist services in Leeds for myeloid and red cell disorders in haematology. The main clinical focus will be in myeloid (leukaemia); however, the postholder will also have significant duties within the MPD clinic and in the support of benign red cell haematology. This will include myeloid inpatient cover.

The appointee will be based principally at St James’s University Hospital with

responsibilities as a member of the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Clinical and

commitment (approx. 1:11). The post-holder will be part of the Leeds Teaching Hospitals

NHS Trust haematology team, providing advisory and liaison haematology services in their

area of expertise. There may be occasional need to visit other areas of the trust (e.g.,

Leeds General Infirmary and other sites within the city) but no regular commitments occur

out with the St James’s site.

We provide inpatient high-dose chemotherapy for patient in Leeds, Harrogate, Huddersfield,

and York (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia), including newer immunotherapies. We are also

regional CAR-T service for eligible people with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

The post holder may support the national PNH service (this will be fully supported by the Leeds PNH team) or may have more involvement in general / non-malignant haematology services with a reduced involvement in the PNH service. This can be tailored to individual preference and experience. This will be discussed at the time of the interview.
