• autologous bone marrow transplantation including inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory care settings

With the potential commissioning of CAR-T therapy for myeloma patients by the NHS in 2024-5, the individual would also be involved in the service development and clinical delivery of CAR-T therapy specifically for these patients.

The successful applicant will be responsible for the management of patients with myeloma and other paraprotein-related disorders. They will also be responsible for the whole pathway from referral to recovery for transplant-eligible myeloma patients.

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an Equal Opportunities Employer.

Within the Trust there is an expanding Myeloma Service and Cambridge University Hospitals are commissioned to function as the regional BMT Centre, taking referrals for autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation for myeloma from several district general hospitals around the region.

Following the selection of Cambridge University Hospitals for commissioning as an NHS CAR T-Cell Centre and the proposed enlargement of the Cambridge Cellular Therapy Laboratory into new purpose-built facilities to support the delivery of several new cellular therapy trials and commissioned therapies the service is also primed to offer cellular therapy and other clinical trials to myeloma patients.

The Department of Haematology at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust offers the full range of clinical (levels 1-4) and laboratory Haematology. It acts as a Tertiary Referral Centre for complex cases and serves as routine service for local patients.

Strong links exist between the Clinical Service, the academic department and the Haemato-Oncology Diagnostic Service. The roles will also require collaboration with regional hospital colleagues.
