Consultant Haematologist

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant Haematologist to join a friendly and enthusiastic team at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. This post will be based at Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is one of the largest Health Boards in Wales and was formed in 2019. It is situated near the vibrant cities of Cardiff, Swansea, and Bristol and is enriched with magnificent scenery including beautiful beaches and the stunning Brecon Beacons national park. Welsh history, culture, music and rugby lie at the heart of the Health Board.

Interview date: 3rd June 2025

Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

Main duties of the job

The post requires malignant and general haematological work. Candidates with any field of interest are encouraged to apply. However, it is desirable to have an interest and experience in haematological malignancy and chemotherapy. The work will be shared equally with the other consultants to provide clinical, laboratory, liaison haematology service and on call. The development of a special interest by the appointee is encouraged and would be in line with the clinical interest of the Health Board.

The haematology department at Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB is undergoing transformation work that will lend itself to sub-specialisation and expansion, and further development of all levels of the medical and nursing structure within the haematology service. Development and expansion of Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Consultant Nurse, and Clinical Scientist posts are being explored as part of this ongoing work. Collaborative work with neighbouring health boards and trusts is also being explored.

The Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB Haematology service, whilst performing BCSH level 2 Haematology, has close links with the regional Haematology and BMT centre based in the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.

Potential applicants are encouraged to visit and meet the current team and consultants.
