Job overview

This post will be based at Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC) and will suit individuals with experience in Haematology who are looking to expand their knowledge of transplantation and cellular therapy. The BMT unit is internationally recognised and is regarded as one of the best transplant and IEC units in Europe. Many of our past transplant fellows are now running their own transplant units. The instruction in BMT theory and techniques our fellows receive is second to none.
Main duties of the job
The post will provide clinical cover for the care of adult patients undergoing allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation and CAR T cell therapy.
Duties will primarily cover the medical review of patients undergoing autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation and CAR T cell therapy.
