This is an exciting time to join the Cellular Pathology department at Bedford Hospital, Bedfordshire Hospital NHS trust. The introduction of digital pathology is a new and innovative development for the department.
The case mix is typical of a district general hospital, except that there is a bias towards breast cancer services, gastrointestinal and head and neck. In addition there is bowel cancer screening, breast screening (one of the largest units in the country) and a cervical screening histopathology service. The department is extremely supportive and all new malignant diagnoses are double reported within the department.
Home working is actively supported where possible and with the introduction of digital pathology this should enable further opportunities in this area.
The job plan will be a prospective agreement that sets out a consultant’s duties, responsibilities and objectives for the coming year. It will cover all aspects of a consultant’s professional practice including clinical work, teaching, research, education and managerial responsibilities.
