About the Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated, and dedicated colleague to join the Senior Medical team at the Oxford Centre for Genomic Medicine, Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) NHS Trust.
The OUH is a large teaching hospital with an active teaching and research agenda. We are seeking a colleague who shares the values of the OUH in providing excellent, compassionate care.
The successful candidate will join 13 consultants, 2 honorary consultants, 8 SpRs/ACFs, and 16 genetic counsellors, with support teams including administrators, cancer triage, family history, and WGS genomic practitioners.
Responsibilities
The role offers an opportunity for an individual keen to work in general genetics, to participate in MDTs, and to develop a special interest which complements those of the existing team. There is no out-of-hours on call, however the appointee will be expected to join in the daily on-call rota for urgent advice and ward reviews and may be required to work on any other site or undertake peripheral clinics as required by the OUH Trust in the future.
Core aspects of the role include triaging referrals, seeing cases in clinic (face to face, video, and telephone consultations); telephone or letter advice to GPs and other colleagues; and follow up of genetic cases as appropriate. Other key aspects of the job include support of the mainstreaming process, engaging fully with OxGEM departmental meetings, support, and training of the resident medical doctors, and support to the genetic counsellors.
