The Role:


The Location:
This hospital is in a wonderful location on the Queensland coast, with beautiful beaches and a great lifestyle. This large regional city boasts an array of public and private schools for all ages and is bursting with great cultural opportunities from galleries to dance studios. Near national parks and sprawling landscapes, the area is well known for its scenic spots to dine with a view.

The Hospital:
The Cancer Care Service has one full time Clinical Haematologist, 2.5 full time Medical Oncologists and is supported by two Registrars and two Resident Medical Officers. Palliative Care Service is supported by a 0.5 FTE specialist. Junior doctors allocated to the unit are shared between the Haematology/Medical Oncology and Palliative care teams. Visiting Haematologists from Royal Brisbane Hospital visit every fortnight to cover transplant follow-up patients.

Cancer Care Service is primarily based at the hospital where you will be working, with an inpatient unit shared by Clinical Haematology, Oncology and Palliative Care, a Day Therapy Unit, Outpatient clinics and Radiation Oncology Service. Visiting Haematology clinics at Gladstone Hospital are done on a weekly basis alternating between face to face clinics (once a month for each haematologist), and telehealth clinics. There are close multi-disciplinary links with Brisbane Haematologists via a weekly video-linked lymphoma MDT meeting.

The Requirements:
You must hold the FRACP and be eligible for Specialist registration with AHPRA.
Or hold the RACP specialist assessment in Rheumatology and be deemed substantially comparable.
