Job overview

The Scarborough Hull York Pathology Service (SHYPS) seeks applications for Consultant Histopathologists who are interested in joining a supportive, cohesive and committed team of consultants based at our purpose built facility at Hull Royal Infirmary.

SHYPS is a newly formed pathology network that has been formed from two services operated by the York & Scarborough Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (YSTHFT) and Hull Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH). It is a clinically led service that incorporates a range of laboratory disciplines across 4 acute hospital sites and covers numerous community, specialist and primary care facilities across a wide geography.

Main duties of the job

The department in Hull Royal Infirmary operates  a subspecialist system of reporting serviced by teams of consultants. We invite applications from newly qualified consultants and those in their mid careers looking for the opportunity to develop their subspecialist interests in more than one area. All areas of expertise will be considered. We can accommodate a combination of specialist interests in gynaecological, gastrointestinal (including pancreas), skin, head and neck, breast and urological pathology and non-gynaecological cytology.  

The department has successfully introduced an in-house molecular testing service to support lung cancer, colorectal cancer and melanoma diagnostic pathways and have a strong dissection team supporting all of the specialties.

SHYPS is in partnership with the National Pathology Imaging Co-operative (NPIC) and seeks to implement and deploy digital pathology in the very near future.  

The department supports working from home and hopes to offer even greater flexibility in the future.
