| Salary: | £55,355 - £67,325 per annum |
| Hours: | Full-time |

Summary
This replacement post has been designed to support the Haemostasis and Thrombosis unit at University Hospitals Of Leicester NHS Trust, with specific focus on the ongoing delivery of the TTP Service (TTP: Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura).
This post is only suitable for doctors who have completed SHO-level training (minimum 4 years postgraduate clinical experience) in general internal medicine/internal medicine training and/or established haematology registrars.
This post does not have educational approval but if appropriate, you would be supported to develop your CV towards applying for a haematology training number or developing a specific interest in non-malignant haematology if already working in a haematology training number post.
Candidates will preferably possess MRCP (UK) or equivalent. Prior experience in haematology is essential, as is prior experience of working in the NHS (at least 12 months).
Induction
The post will have a formal induction process to familiarise you with the hospital, department and specialty. If it is appropriate, this will include an introduction to safe laboratory practice and basic diagnostic skills relating to laboratory work relevant to haemostasis and thrombosis. Further induction requirements will be assessed on an individual’s previous experience and educational needs.
Clinical and Laboratory
This post will support the on-going delivery of the service specification for Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. This includes caring for the patients with a known diagnosis within the wider multi-disciplinary team, such as at specialist clinics and MDT meetings.
The focus of the role will also be on developing educational resources and delivery of education to areas of healthcare where patients with TTP are likely to present. This will be the case across the footprint of the East Midlands TTP Network, not only at UHL.
There will also be an opportunity to support the development of laboratory relevant protocols and educational resources, as well as working towards publications in this specialist field.
Research
There will be an opportunity to support research activity within H&T. As a minimum, this would include that related to the TTP registry, but will also include any other opportunities that arise.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
