Summary
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES Outpatient clinics and the multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT) The job comprises outpatient clinics at Moorfields Eye Hospital for new and follow up patients. The cancer nurse specialists provide counselling support for the patients and coordinate admissions to St Bartholomews hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital. The clinical fellows would be expected to assist in this process by liaising between the two sites. We have a full time MDT coordinator. The successful candidates would attend and participate in the weekly MDT by presenting cases and contributing to educational discussion. Ward work The Ocular Oncology service is a tertiary referral centre for intraocular and ocular surface tumours. We admit patients to a hostel one day before surgery to allow time for preoperative investigations, this avoids the problem of patients travelling long distances back and forth to hospital. The main part of the ward work is to ensure investigations are ordered, performed and reviewed prior to surgery and to enable prompt discharge of patients after surgery. Theatres The Ocular Oncology Specialty has a high surgical volume which consists of: Three adult theatre lists a week at Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road) One retinoblastoma list at Royal London Hospital One theatre list a month at St Bartholomews Hospital for patients who are high risk for general anaesthesia The successful candidates would receive surgical training in ocular oncology procedures by two consultants (Professor Mandeep Sagoo and Mr Guy Negretti) and two specialist doctors (Mr Amit Arora and Miss Lamis Al-Harby).
