Job responsibilities

Duties and Responsibilities:

Consultants in the department currently spend approximately 85% of their time involved directly in clinical service provision and 15% undertaking supporting professional activities (audit, QA, CPD, management, research, teaching etc). Each consultant contributes 43 weeks to the rota with remaining weeks allocated to annual leave, study leave etc.

The advertised post is a replacement 10 PA post, NHS-based, although there may be an opportunity for a candidate with an appropriate academic profile to participate in research activities at the Newcastle University. This would be negotiated with the university at the time of appointment. Where appropriate an application will be made for the appointee to be granted the title of Associate Clinical Lecturer in Cellular Pathology. The department undertakes a significant amount of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and you will be expected to participate in these teaching programmes.

GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY

The gastrointestinal (GI) pathology team has input from nine consultants and a consultant Biomedical Scientist, each with a varying contribution to the service, depending on their other specialist commitments. Within the team, individual consultants take a lead in upper GI pathology, colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and paediatric GI pathology. The workload of the GI pathology team is currently in the region of 12,000 specimens per year, including endoscopic biopsies, resections and bowel cancer screening / Bowel Scope specimens. The GI pathology team works closely with a number of clinical groups including upper and lower GI surgeons, paediatric gastroenterologists and adult gastroenterologists. The Trust is one of the largest centres for upper GI surgery in the UK. The Trust is also a tertiary referral centre for inflammatory bowel disease and the clinical IBD team is actively involved in UK-based pharmacology trials. The Trust furthermore supports a regional service for Advanced Rectal tumours and Anal Cancers with pathology review part of weekly MDM. A Regional Intestinal Failure Unit opened at the Trust in 2012 and generates resections from patients with complex pathology who have undergone previous surgery. Individual team members work closely together to support frozen sections, urgent biopsies and difficult biopsies which may require a second opinion. Clinicopathological meetings supported by the GI team include: weekly upper gastrointestinal cancer MDTM and colorectal cancer MDTM, fortnightly Paediatric gastroenterology and monthly inflammatory bowel disease meeting.

Within the department, you will have a high quality microscope, and a personal computer with digital dictation and the option of voice recognition. You will also have access to the Departmental secretaries. The department has good facilities for digital photography of macroscopic and microscopic specimens. There is also equipment and technical support for production of material for educational, audit and research presentations. The Department is in the process of introducing Digital pathology for reporting, but this will not be compulsory.

You will be expected to participate in audit and in relevant EQA schemes. You will also be expected to take part in continuing professional development and annual appraisal (the latter including annual job plan review). Time and funds will be made available by the Trust for attendance of professional and educational meetings etc. and appraisal familiarisation courses are provided in-house.
