Consultant cellular pathologist post at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, part of the Berkshire/Surrey Pathology Services network. The consultant supports histopathology and cytopathology delivery, reports on the surgical rota, supervises junior doctors and attends cancer MDT meetings. The post is distinct for a negotiable lead cancer site and a current need to cover gynaecology screening and non-screening work, with non-gynae cytology and gastrointestinal workload also needing cover. Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists or equivalent, and GMC registration, decide fit.
