About the Jobs

Regional oncology services are closely integrated with cancer alliances, offering structured exposure to systemic therapies, radiotherapy and acute oncological care. Doctors contribute to holistic, protocol‑driven treatment across tumour sites.

• Outpatients - assessment and follow‑up across common tumour sites (breast, lung, GI, GU, gynaecology, haematological malignancies).
• Systemic anti‑cancer therapy - prescribing/monitoring chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted agents within MDT‑agreed protocols.
• Inpatients - management of treatment‑related complications (neutropenic sepsis, electrolyte disorders, thromboembolism) and oncological emergencies.
• Radiotherapy interface - opportunities to gain experience in planning and delivery alongside specialist colleagues.
• Supportive care - close work with palliative care, nutrition and rehabilitation services.

The speciality blends acute medicine with longitudinal patient relationships and access to evolving, research‑driven therapies.
