Locum Consultant Haematologist

Locum Consultant Haematologist

Closing date is 26 January 2026

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Locum Consultant Haematologist to join our Clinical Haematology department at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

The candidate will have the opportunity to be based at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (CWH) and join the existing CW consultant group and broader teams. The candidate will work with the well-established team to deliver general laboratory, general inpatient, outpatient, advice & guidance, and haemato‑oncology services. The candidate will uphold the Trust values to ensure the delivery of the highest quality care to patients with haematological conditions.

The post‑holder will contribute to the general work of the Clinical Haematology department. The post will also support Laboratory Haematology (Pathology) at the Trust as well as providing a Haematology consultation service to other departments whose patients have haematological disorders or haematological aspects to their primary disorder (e.g. patients from the Women’s and Children’s Services).

Any candidate who is unable, for personal reasons, to work full‑time will be eligible to be considered for the post; if such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis with the Trust in consultation with consultant colleagues.

This post is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Clinical Haematologist to join a dynamic, friendly, and forward‑looking Acute Hospital Trust in Central London. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital is an AML treating centre and has strong links with Imperial College. The successful appointee would be expected to work with the well‑established team to deliver general laboratory, general inpatient, and outpatient and haemato‑oncology services.

The number of outpatient clinics will be determined in discussion with the post‑holder. The mix of patients is typical of a large general hospital, including those with haematological malignancies (lymphomas, chronic leukaemias, myeloma etc.), general haematology (anaemias, myeloproliferative disorders, immune‑mediated cytopenias, disorders of iron metabolism), haemoglobinopathies (predominantly sickle cell disease), and patients with venous thromboembolic disease and thrombophilia.

We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South‑East. We have over 6,000 members of staff that are PROUD to Care for nearly one million people. Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children’s, in addition to a range of community‑based services across London, such as award‑winning sexual health and HIV clinics.

We’re one of the best performing Trusts in the country and one of the top trusts to work for. Our staff say they’re engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.

Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as "Good" in all five of the main domains (safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well‑led), giving us an overall rating of "Good". We’ve also been awarded an "Outstanding" rating for "use of resources" by an NHS Improvement inspection.

Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing around £10 million a year in our estate and are currently spending £25 million on expanding our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and redeveloping our children’s unit at West Middlesex in partnership with our charity, CW+ and generous donors.
