HCA Healthcare UK at University College Hospital is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Resident Doctor to join our Haematology & Oncology service, with a particular focus on our JACIE-accredited Stem Cell Transplant Unit (SCTU).

Under the supervision of the Consultant in Charge or a leading UCLH Professor, you will:
- Provide day-to-day inpatient medical management, including clerking planned and unplanned admissions, undertaking daily ward rounds, and leading routine clinical reviews.
- Manage acutely unwell patients, respond to medical emergencies, and contribute to end-of-life care as required.
- Support continuity of care across both inpatient and outpatient pathways in partnership with our established multidisciplinary team.
This role offers an exceptional breadth of exposure rarely available outside major teaching centres:
- Stem cell transplant expertise within a highly specialised JACIE-accredited SCTU, managing autologous and allogeneic transplant patients.
- Hands-on experience with novel and advanced therapies, including CAR-T, bispecific antibodies, and tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies.
- Regularly rostered time in our Haematology Day Unit, gaining exposure to chemotherapy delivery, supportive care, and outpatient haematology management.
- Direct, close working relationships with internationally recognised Haematology and Oncology Consultants and Professors.
- A supportive clinical environment with dedicated HCA-employed Resident Doctors and clear clinical governance structures.
