Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant in Paediatric Haematology to join our friendly Paediatric Haematology and Oncology team at Leicester Royal Infirmary Hospital.
The Paediatric, Teenage and Young Adult haematology/oncology inpatient unit is currently based on ward 27 at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. The unit is divided with younger paediatric patients and the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit for TYA patients. The medical and nursing staff care for patients from 0 to 25 years of age on the ward and within the adjacent haematology/oncology daycare and clinic area.
The East Midlands Teenage and Young Adult Integrated Cancer Service (TYAICS) Teenage and young adult malignant haematology in Leicester is part of the East Midlands Teenage and Young Adult Integrated Cancer Service (TYAICS). TYAICS is in congruence with the Children’s Cancer Service Model (East Midlands Children’s and Young Person’s Integrated Cancer Service – EMCYPICS). The East Midlands TYA Principal Treatment Centre (PTC) is based at The Queens Medical Centre and City Campuses at Nottingham University Hospitals, and Leicester Royal Infirmary at
11 the University Hospitals of Leicester as a joint service delivered across all three sites. The overlap with the children’s model facilitates clear links and close working for transition from children’s services to TYA services.
• Lead for non-malignant paediatric general haematology and either paediatric
haemophilia/bleeding disorders or red cell haematology
• Clinical care of paediatric non-malignant haematology patients and the associated laboratory work
• Paediatric haematology advice to other teams within the Childrens’ hospital
• Regional paediatric haematology advice to paediatricians as well as advice to local GPs
• Participation in weekly local and regional MDT’s
• Share bone marrow and intrathecal list duties with colleagues
• Ward attending duties covering inpatients and day care for all paediatric, teenage and young adult patients in the haematology/oncology unit - currently 1:5 commitment
• Out of hours paediatric haematology/oncology cover shared with the 5 paediatric haematology/oncology consultants – currently 1:5 commitment.
• Out of hours cover for paediatric non-malignant haematology including haemoglobinopathy and bleeding and thrombosis is provided by the adult haematology service. Young adult TYA cancer patients are initially reviewed and assessed by the general paediatric team who then escalate as necessary to the adult haematology/oncology teams who are ultimately responsible for these patients out of hours.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
