The post will deliver an advanced level of care and play a key role in the clinical management of paediatric oncology patients, acting as a role model and expert practitioner in paediatric oncology and paediatric venous access. The working days are long day shifts (08:30-21:00). This post in paediatric oncology is suitable for a junior doctor wishing to gain experience in paediatric oncology, for those wishing to pursue a career in Tertiary Paediatric Oncology, or as a stand-alone post providing training for generalists with a specialist interest (i.e. shared care oncology). The PTC across the two sites (St George's works closely with the Royal Marsden to provide a PTC) has 240 new malignant registrations per year, including children with leukaemia, central nervous system and extra cranial tumours.
