Cancer Centre

This is an opportunity to join a leading Cancer Centre in London as an NHS Locum Consultant in Clinical Oncology. Applicants for Medical Oncology will also be considered.

There is workforce of close to 8000 staff, so it is one of the largest acute Trusts in the UK. The Trust cars for a population of over 700,000 and is based in a very diverse and multicultural area of London. The department has an excellent reputation for onboarding overseas trained Oncologists and supporting them in their NHS professional development.

You’ll be based in the main Cancer Centre which has a large multi-disciplinary team and is well-staffed by Consultant Oncologists, Specialty Doctors, Oncology trainees. You’ll be actively participating in teaching Foundation Year doctors and the Specialty Trainees in Oncology.

The Centre treats the full range of tumour sites, which will give you excellent exposure if you’re looking to sign-off competencies for CESR Specialist Registration. There is a custom-built SACT suite which also is home to Acute Oncology Service beds which are well-supported by nurses. The inpatient care is in bespoke oncology and haematology wards.

The state-of-the-art radiotherapy department offers: Varian Linear Accelerators, CT scanner, Xstrahl superficial units, SABR, IGRT, VMAT, 4dCT and CBCT guided radiotherapy via the ETHOS platform.

The Trust is home to a dedicated cancer clinical trials team, and you’ll be encouraged to take part in research and trials.

You have the option to live in London, or if you’d prefer to live slightly more rurally, there are excellent transport links to the Hospital. The schools nearby are available for all ages and are extremely high performing.
