Detailed job description and main responsibilities
OUTPATIENT SERVICES
This Haematology job plan consists of 3 haematology outpatient clinics, both face-to-face and virtual. The Outpatient haematology consists of general haematology clinics and specialised clinics including lymphoma/myeloma, thrombosis, and obstetric haematology both at Warwick and Stratford sites. There is also a dedicated lymphadenopathy clinic run jointly with ENT and radiology to help support the 2 weeks wait. The appointed candidate will have an opportunity of developing their own specialised clinics.
There are more than 4000 outpatient haematology consultant episodes annually. We also have nurse led clinics for myeloproliferative/myelodysplasia disorders as well as procedure and transfusion clinics.
IN-PATIENTS
The haematology consultants have full admitting rights to medical beds at Warwick Hospital for the management of level 2a and non-malignant haematology patients. There are ongoing discussions regarding managing patient on a single ward. The new consultant will be instrumental in helping to build this aspect of the service.
Ward Rounds are conducted daily and on call ward rounds occur over the weekend. There are 10 in-patients on average.
Patients who need level 3 or 2b treatments are transferred to ward 34 at UHCW under the care of Warwick haematologists. Patients with solid tumours under the care of oncologists are cared for by the haematologists when they require admission with neutropenic sepsis.
CHEMOTHERAPY AND DAY UNIT SERVICES
The Aylesford unit at Warwick and the Rigby Unit on the Stratford site both provide day case chemotherapy and supportive care (e.g., transfusions, IVIg, bisphosphonates) to both haematology and oncology patients. Warwick hospital is a designated JACIE and HTA accredited site for stem cell harvesting and apheresis for the Coventry and Warwickshire consortium. The stem cell apheresis and intrathecal rooms are both in the Aylesford unit.
