Main duties of the job
This post represents a career opportunity for a clinician with imagination, drive and commitment to work with the other Oncology Consultants and the wider cancer multidisciplinary team. You would be expected to work in two main tumour sites with some flexibility depending on the preferences of the candidate but ideally covering systemic therapy for Lung, Upper GI or Renal cancer, working in partnership with the current UHMB 
Oncologists as well as visiting Clinical Oncologists from Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. You will also contribute to the acute oncology inpatient service in UHMB although there is currently no on call commitment associated with the post.
This is a pan-UHMB appointment and the appointee will be expected to work across at least two of the three UHMB sites Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Westmoreland General Hospital and Furness General Hospital. The Trust is a recognised Cancer Unit, providing systemic therapy for all common tumour sites. SACT is given at all three sites. In-patients are treated at FGH and RLI. The Trust is part of the Greater Manchester, Lancashire and South Cumbria Strategic Clinical Network.
We are the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT).
We are a University teaching hospital full of hard working and dedicated staff providing community and hospital services across the Morecambe Bay area - an area covering a thousand square miles in south Cumbria and north Lancashire.
We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services. 
WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
Our community services for adults are provided in people’s homes, community centres, clinics, GP Practices, community hospitals and our main hospitals. Our aim is to work with people to help them remain independent, improve their health and manage their conditions through high quality care, advice and support.
