Summary
The Palliative Medicine Department at OUHFT is a growing and dynamic department containing a Community Service offering specialist support to patients across Oxfordshire and South Northamptonshire, a Hospital Service working across all four acute hospital sites and two inpatient hospice units (Sobell House and Katharine House) with 28 bed capacity between them as well as a burgeoning Supportive Palliative Care service with well-developed models in Renal Supportive Care, Oncology, Haematology and Cardiology. The Department has recently undertaken a large multi-million pound expansion with the Rapid Intervention in Palliative and End of Life Care project creating an enhanced co-ordiation Hub, Hospice Outreach and Home Hospice Teams and Hospital Rapid Response. The successful candidates will be part of a team of 8 consultants, currently consisting of Prof Bee Wee, Dr Mary Miller, Dr Tim Harrison, Dr Victoria Bradley, Dr Matthew Carey, Dr Charlie Bond, Dr Victoria Hedges and Dr Farzana Virani. In addition, the team consists of three associate specialists, seven specialty doctors, two fellows and seven doctors in training (3 palliative medicine, 4 general practice). The scope of work covered by the medical team includes clinical care in the specialist service (inpatient, outpatient including Living Well day services, community specialist team, hospital team, lymphoedema and bereavement), clinical care and leadership of end of life care across the Trust, education and research. The consultants rotate key clinical responsibility for different parts of the clinical service every 1-2 years as mutually agreed. The postholders base will be either at Sobell House Hospice at the Churchill Hospital or at Katharine House Hospice but it is a condition of the appointment that the postholder will be willing to work in any of the Trusts locations.
