We are seeking to appoint a committed Consultant Cardiothoracic Histopathologist to join our experienced and highly motivated team at the Wythenshawe site (although as our service develops and reconfigures, there may be a requirement to work across our other sites).  Wythenshawe is a busy teaching Hospital and a regional centre / tertiary referral site for breast and cardiothoracic surgery.  The cardiothoracic department initiated a lung screening programme within Greater Manchester and is a leader in this field, with ample opportunity to be involved in research and innovation. We also have high volumes of endoscopy and colorectal cancer work and a plastics and GP skin workload.

You will join a team of 15 other substantive Consultants in the Histopathology Department at Wythenshawe (and 22 Consultants at the ORC site). The main responsibilities of this post would be:

• Together with other Consultant colleagues, be responsible for providing subspecialised histopathology for its clinical users (Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Tameside & Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and local General Practices). This may include review of slides of patients who are referred in to MFT for further investigation or treatment from other hospitals.  The appointee will have the opportunity to participate in cancer multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) in line with their areas of subspecialisation which may involve travel to other sites.
• Participate in Undergraduate and Postgraduate teaching and training. The Trust is committed to teaching Specialty Trainees in Histopathology under the aegis of HENW (Health Education North West).  The appointee will also be expected to teach histopathology to other allied health professionals.  In line with this, there will be provision to review the SPA allocation in the job plan if an appointee takes up such extra responsibilities leading to increased teaching duties.
