Job description

Job responsibilities

The Trust has two tertiary referral centres for complex colorectal cancer and head and neck cancers. We work collaboratively with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust as a specialist surgical and oncology centre and with Mount Vernon Cancer Centre. All radiotherapy takes place at these centres.

We have a very busy chemotherapy unit at Northwick Park hospital for Haematological and solid tumours, where there are plans to expand to deliver capacity for the rising demand and to repatriate patients to provide treatment closer-to-home. There are also plans within the Trust and as part of Shaping a Healthier Future to establish a chemotherapy unit at Ealing Hospital.

The Trust has a busy level 3 Haemato-oncology service which is well recognised across London for its excellent clinical outcomes and approach to Clinical Research and Education, embedded in clinical practice. We also provide a level 1 POSCU service.

As an NIHR-badged Haemato-oncology Research Unit, a large proportion of patients are partaking in Clinical Trials, with a positive approach to research across all disciplines involved (Haematology, Colorectal, breast, urology, ENT). We are supported by a highly commended and innovative pharmacy team and have a large chemotherapy and parenteral nutrition manufacturing units on site at NPH.

Cancer services across all cancer specialties are fortunate to have a very strong cancer clinical nurse specialist (CNS) workforce, which is supported by Macmillan.

Pleas see the attached job description for further details and (appendix B) for the job plan weekly provisional programmed activities.
