Summary
The Cellular Pathology department at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (ESHT) is seeking to appoint two Locum Consultant Histopathologists to join their friendly, efficient team of 6 Histopathologists; we have one full time position and one part time position available.
The post holderswill play a full part in the provision of a diagnostic pathology service to the Trust and will be expected to contribute to the provision of a cancer pathology service for one or more anatomical sites, complementing the interests of the consultants already in post.
The Cellular Pathology Department at ESHT undertakes histopathology, cytopathology, immunohistochemistry and autopsy pathology. Consultants share the work in each of the following main specialties: breast pathology, dermatopathology, gastrointestinal pathology, uropathology, and diagnostic cytopathology. Gynaecological pathology is currently outsourced. There is no cervical cytology requirement. Participation in the coronial autopsy service is optional. The department is live with Digital Pathology, using the Sectra PACS reporting system, in combination with the Hamamatsu NanoZoomer scanners. Part of our vision is to allow the opportunity of remote reporting to the right candidate.
The posts can be based at either the Conquest site or the Eastbourne site. As a senior employee of the Trust, you will work in close co-operation with, and support other clinical medical, professional, and managerial colleagues in providing high quality healthcare to the Trust’s patients. Integral to these responsibilities is the following:
• The provision of a first-class service.
• Effective leadership to all staff engaged in the speciality.
• Sustaining and developing teaching at ESHT.
• Undertaking all work in accordance with the Trust’s procedures and operating policies.
• Conducting clinical practice in accordance with contractual requirements and within the parameters of the Trusts service plans.
