Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology and Haematology are encompassed within this service. The Medical Oncology department sees over 3000 new patients a year and delivers over 10000 chemotherapy treatments in the outpatient unit and has a 25 bed inpatient ward, and provides and supportive training environment with excellent learning opportunities for trainees.
Working as a Medical Oncology Advanced Trainee
Within the Medical Oncology Department there are 32 SMO’s, 11 Registrars and 1 House Officer. The department is accredited for 8 Advanced Trainee registrar positions for 24 months of core medical oncology, and has a Director of Training overseeing the training programme.
The department works in tumour specific teams with consultants specialising in 1-2 tumour types. Training registrars rotate though these outpatient clinic teams on a 3 monthly basis to cover all major tumour types as well as inpatients and thus gain significant experience in both common and rarer cancers. Registrars will also work with the wider multidisciplinary team, including Radiation Oncologists, Clinical Nurse Specialists, a Clinical Psychologist and Oncology Nurses who attend multi-disciplinary team meetings. Clinical Research is an important part of oncology and we have a large dedicated clinical trials research department which encourages registrar involvement.
