Consultant Histopathologist​/Cellular Pathologist

Overview

An exciting opportunity exists for one full-time consultant post in Cellular Pathology based at University Hospital Lewisham, dealing with a very interesting and varied workload in a general setting. This is a new post to reflect rising workload and complexity. The successful candidate will join a relatively small and supportive team. It is anticipated that the appointee will have a generalist commitment but also bring or develop their own special interests to flexibly integrate with those of the existing consultants by mutual agreement.

The department is currently in the process of implementing digital reporting to enable more flexible working patterns. There are excellent public transport links both by rail and bus.
