Locum Consultant in Clinical Haematology with an interest in Thrombosis or Malignancies

The Clinical Haematology team at a highly reputable NHS Trust in London is seeking a dedicated and skilled Consultant in Haematology for a fixed-term position of 12 months (ideally with an interest in Thrombosis or Malignancies.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic Haematology service, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of seven experienced Consultant Haematologists, eight Clinical Nurse Specialists, and a robust support network that includes four clinical fellows and two additional fellows who cover the day unit and assist the registrars.

This role offers the chance to work in a supportive and collaborative environment, providing high-quality care to patients with a range of complex haematological conditions.

The Team

The haematology team delivers comprehensive care across a wide spectrum of both malignant and benign haematological conditions. The service includes advanced care for level 2B malignant haematology patients and supports a large population of patients with red cell disorders, with the haemoglobinopathy team offering both acute and community-based services.

The Trust’s well-established anticoagulation service benefits from strong leadership and robust local protocols designed to deliver exceptional patient outcomes. A monthly haematology/obstetrics clinic is held, alongside a red cell apheresis service providing both emergency and elective treatments. This service is bolstered by four dedicated haemoglobinopathy nurses, who support acute care, apheresis, transition services, antenatal screening, and community outreach.

The haematology team has expanded nurse-led services to enhance accessibility and specialized care. There is also active involvement in cross-specialty audits, education initiatives, and protocol development, offering extensive opportunities for teaching across directorates, pathway development, and primary care education.

Role and Responsibilities:

This role offers an exciting and varied opportunity to provide essential patient care, contribute to diagnostics, and support training and development within the haematology team.

Responsibilities include conducting a weekly new patient thrombosis clinic and two follow-up thrombosis clinics. Additionally, there is scope to develop a half-day weekly clinic in a specialized area of your interest. Attendance at the weekly thrombosis MDT meeting is also required.
