LAS Specialty Registrar in Oncology ST3+

Outpatient duties would include specialist clinics including the following: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, new-patients and teaching clinics. Ward based duties would include supervision of patients receiving all types of modern cancer treatment, acute oncology patients and patients admitted for symptom control.

The appointee will join the hybrid on-call rota, which includes resident long day shifts incorporating overnight non-resident on-call cover. During on calls, appointees are exempt from their usual duties, but are expected to manage the emergency assessment unit and provide cover for the day unit and emergency ward cover, in conjunction with the on-call FY2/IMT doctor and supported by the on-call consultant. These arrangements give good exposure to acute oncology, which is part of the training curriculum for oncology. It is the responsibility of the appointee to ensure that when on-call he/she will be available to meet his/her clinical commitments. The appointee will also be expected to provide prospective cover for the annual and study leave of colleagues.
