Main duties of the job
You will assist the substantive consultants in providing a histopathology service to Broomfield Hospital. Duties expected of the post-holder will depend on previous experience.

If they have not submitted a request for CESR they will work entirely under the supervision of the substantive consultants.

A reorganisation of working practices has allowed all the members of the team to maintain expertise in a broad range of diagnostic pathology whilst conforming to the increasing need for specialisation in major cancers. A designated single lead Cellular Pathologist for each multidisciplinary team is identified. The Specialty Doctor will participate in surgical cut-up and contribute to the reporting service in line with best practice in regard to knowledge and qualifications.
