Consultant
Job overview
To ensure the continued delivery of high-quality Oncological care to patients within the trust and to contribute to the further development of the service.
The appointee will be Lead Medical Oncology Consultant for Breast & Hepatico-Pancreatico-Biliary Cancers. Like most cancer units and centres, there has been a steady rise in the number of patients being referred for treatment of these malignancies and an increase in the use of multiple lines of chemotherapy, including the expansion in the use
of monoclonal antibodies and other newer agents. The appointee will be expected to maintain and enhance the multidisciplinary management of patients with these malignancies, to increase entry of patients into clinical trials and to expand the service as required to meet patient's needs.
Main duties of the job
The appointed consultant would be expected to contribute to the on-going service improvement programme developing:
- Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT)
- Cost Improvement programme (CIP)
- Implementing evidence based new ways of working when necessary
We also encourage consultants to apply for fellowship of the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management, to which we are an affiliated member.
Working for our organisation
There’s never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We’re working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital due to open in 2031/32 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
