After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000‑strong workforce.

The appointee will be required to engage in and promote clinical governance and service improvement initiatives within the Trust.

The appointee will be responsible for providing laboratory and clinical haematology support to the nonmalignant haematology team and working with the existing consultants to provide comprehensive expertise in haemoglobinopathy and haemostasis disorders.

The candidate will be expected to ensure that the standards and procedures comply with current statutory requirements and Department of Health recommendations. They will also provide support to specialist nursing teams within these services.

The appointee will be required to be familiar with the clinical work of the department so that they may contribute to clinical care as required and advice on problems relating to diagnostic haematology problems.

The appointee will be involved in the provision of the undergraduate haematology teaching programme on the four‑ and five‑year MBBS courses as well as other health science courses. The appointee will be expected to support postgraduate training of SpRs on the SW London Haematology Training Programme.

On a practical level, the appointee will be required to provide clinical activity in both inpatient and outpatient environments. All haematology consultants have admitting rights, based on clinical priority, the BMT coordination process and discussion with the Trust bed management team.
