THE TRUST
Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CMFT) was established on 1 st January
2009 after being authorised by Monitor. Up until then it was known as Central Manchester and
Manchester Children's University Hospitals Trust which was founded on 1st April 2001. It brought together
Central Manchester Healthcare NHS Trust and the Manchester Children’s Hospitals NHS Trust following a
period of public consultation and the final decision by the Secretary of State.
As the leading provider of tertiary and specialist healthcare services in Manchester we treat more than a
million patients every year. Our five specialist hospitals are home to hundreds of world class clinicians and
academic staff committed to finding our patients the best care and treatments. The Trust is nearing
completion a major re-building programme through one of the largest PFI initiatives in the NHS.
ROYAL MANCHESTER CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
The new Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, a state of the art facility, opened in June 2009 as part of a
£0.5 billion hospital development comprising new facilities for the Royal Eye Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital and
much of the medical division of the Manchester Royal Infirmary. The hospital provides children’s
emergency, secondary and regional tertiary services, having brought together the services which were
provided across the Children’s Hospitals (Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, RMCH, and Booth Hall
Children’s Hospital, BHCH) and St Mary’s Hospital for Women and Children. The alignment of these
secondary and tertiary services provides an impressive facility for children and babies from North West
England and should lead to a golden era of child health care in the Region.
The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is one of the largest children’s hospitals in Europe, adjacent to
leading adult tertiary services and University of Manchester Medical School. Clearly this offers huge
potential for future career development for the successful candidate.
The hospital provides all of the following Specialist Children’s Services: Gastroenterology, Respiratory
Medicine, Rheumatology, Neurology, Nephrology, Cardiology, Clinical Genetics, Endocrinology, Metabolic
Medicine, Oncology, Haematology, BMT, Paediatric Intensive Care, Burns and Plastics, Orthopaedics and
Trauma, Paediatric and Neonatal Surgery, Urology, Spinal Surgery, Otolaryngology. There is a
comprehensive Children’s Emergency Department, housed within the new hospital and a Child and

DUTIES AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
The locum consultant will be responsible for in- and out-patient bone marrow transplant patients in an
attending system, alternating with Prof R F Wynn who is the BMT program director. The post holder will
be expected to attend for 6 months per year. Approximately 35 bone marrow transplants are performed
annually, and the majority are unrelated allografts. The unit has particular expertise in the transplantation
of children with MPS and other inborn errors of metabolism. The majority of transplant in the Unit are for
non malignant diseases. The Unit has JACIE accreditation after inspection in 2007. The number of Units
performing transplants in the North West of England is currently under review.
The BMT MDT includes Dr S Hughes, Consultant Paediatric Immunologist, Dr A Turner, Consultant
Clinical Virologist, the Therapeutic Stem Cell Laboratory as well as dedicated dietetic, nursing, social work
practioners.
The Unit has a research programme including a preclinical research programme, that is mainly focussed
on BMT in non malignant disease. There are active clinical and research collaborative links. The Unit is an
active member of the EBMT, including the Inborn Error Working Party and Paediatric diseases Working
Party. The appointee would be encouraged to engage in clinical research, or collaborative preclinical
research.
The locum consultant will also be expected to take responsibility for the diagnosis and management of
patients with leukaemia along side Professor R Wynn and Dr J Grainger one week in three. There are
some 30 new acute leukaemia cases per year.
The locum consultant will take on the diagnosis and care of patients with general haematological
conditions during that “take” week or referred from general paediatricians. Patients with inherited bleeding
disorders are referred to the Haemophilia Reference Centre, directed by Dr A M Will and shared with Dr
John Grainger.
For those with appropriate training and interest laboratory duties will be shared equally with the existing
haematology consultants. All tertiary paediatric specialities are represented in the children’s division
which include a paediatric intensive care unit. The consultant paediatric haematologists are also
expected to give advice and review results and blood films across the entire CMFT and from all hospitals
within our large catchment area, approximately 12% of the UK population. Lead managerial consultant
haematologist duties for the laboratories are shared equally on a three yearly rotational basis.
The post holder will have the MRCP or MRCPH. A CCST in Haematology must have been awarded or be
able to apply for such within 6 months. Evidence of particular training in Paediatric Haematology and BMT
will be required. For those that possess also the FRCPath or equivalent then there will be the opportunity
to partcipate in laboratory duties.
The timetable for the new consultant varies on whether attending BMTU or not – see subsequent job plan.
The attending rotation is currently monthly. Core fixed commitments to BMTU remains such as MDT ward
rounds, BMT planning and quality meetings. There is a fixed malignant haematology clinic included.
The on-call commitment is currently one night a week, Monday to Thursday and every fourth weekend
(Friday to Sunday), all with prospective cover. The weekends on-call are of two types; first on call and
second on call. First on call weekends involve taking primary responsibility for the care of all the unit’s
inpatients including patients with solid tumours, with a second on call oncology consultant available to
give advice on difficult clinical problems involving solid tumour patients. In second on call weekends, the
haematology consultant needs to be able to give similar clinical advice to the first on call oncology
consultant concerning any difficult clinical problems with haematology inpatients. During all on call
weekends, the haematologist is responsible for dealing with any laboratory-based haematology problems
and giving advice on haematological problems to clinicians on other units or from other hospitals. There is
always junior doctor cover with a SpR and SHO on call specifically for clinical haematology and oncology.
On about every third week night and third weekend on call there is also a first on call haematology SpR to
help the haematology consultant. The exact on call commitments will be negotiated according to the
training of the candidate and specifically the abiity and qualificiations to participte in laboratory
haematology
The appointee will be contracted for 10 programmed activities per week; approximately 8.5 PAs for direct
clinical care, the remainder will cover supporting professional activities.
The appointee would be expected to cover for colleagues on annual, study and short term sick leave. The
consultant will provide continuing responsibility for patients in their charge and in partnership with
colleagues working for the proper function of the department. The post holder may be required to
undertake other duties appropriate for a consultant paediatric haematologist not otherwise specified.
For an appointee in their first Consultant post, one of the rostered sessions will be a mentored one to
facilitate acclimatisation to the role and the organisation. In these circumstances, that session will be
considered as a developmental component and badged as SPA time
5
A suggested work plan is attached.
RESEARCH
All patients, where appropriate, are enrolled on MRC and CCLG trials. All BMT patients are registered
and followed by the CCLG and EBMT registries. Data managers provide support for this research. Trials
are ongoing in non malignant haematology and BMT supportive care. Consultants are encouraged to take
on other personal research.
The BMTU has an excellent publication record and contributes to international collaborative research
particularly in metabolic research.
Research and Innovation.
The vision of CMFT is to become the leading integrated health, teaching, research and innovation campus
in the NHS. Within this context our aim over the next 5 years is to ensure that CMFT is one of the top 5
NHS Trusts for research and innovation in the U.K. Our capacity for translation of research and
innovation into improved patient care will be internationally recognised, both in its own right and in
partnership with Manchester Academic Health Science Centre (http://www.mahsc.ac.uk/). We have a
number of important assets to help us achieve this ambitious goal:

We have just completed a new hospital development, co-located with the University of
Manchester to create the largest biomedical research campus in Europe
The Manchester NIHR Biomedical Research Centre (http://www.cmft.nhs.uk/brc/biomedicalresearch-centre.aspx), a partnership with the University of Manchester, is one of 12 such elite
centres in the UK.
The Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility (WTCRF), purpose built for experimental medicine
research and incorporating an MRI research scanner suite, is one of only 4 in the UK with both
adult and paediatric facilities.
The Centre for Applied Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics, a multimillion pound new
development uniquely designed and built within the hospital to enable application of proteomics,
metabolomics and genomics to experimental medicine.
A recently opened and staffed Biobanking facility, now collecting a range of well phenotyped
human tissues for research within CMFT and across MAHSC.
The largest single site clinical sciences centre in the UK.
Our clinical research and innovation benefits from established partnerships with:
o TrusTECH, the NHS Innovation Hub in the Northwest
o MIMIT (Manchester Integrating Medicine and Innovative Technology), providing solutions
to unmet clinical need.
o Manchester Medical Technologies Development Centre, designed to accelerate the
development of new devices and diagnostics
o Greater Manchester Comprehensive Local Research Network
o Medicines for Children Research Network
o ICON Development Solutions
o Wyeth Pharmaceuticals
o Science & Technology Facilities Council at Daresbury
These assets, coupled with a network of Clinical Division Research Leads and Research Managers
enabling research throughout the organisation, and a system of internal pump priming grants, provide a
first class environment for translational research in a hospital setting.
TEACHING
The locum consultant will be expected to participate in the teaching activities of the paediatric
haematology and oncology unit. These include a weekly haematocytopathology meeting on Wednesday
am, a histopathology meeting on Thursday am and unit teaching on Tuesday afternoon.
The post holder will also be expected to teach medical students and junior doctors attached to the unit
and be prepared to have postgraduate and undergraduates attend their outpatient clinics. Our unit’s
consultants are actively encouraged to become involved in the teaching of nurses and other professions
involved in the multidisciplinary care of our patients.

the unit, two at any one time from a pool of 18. The training is extended to two years for trainees in
paediatric haematology.
The unit is also accredited by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health for higher specialist
training in Paediatric Oncology
The consultants also contribute to the provision of education to nursing staff and occasionally to other
units in the trusts. There is a weekly Grand Round within the Children’s Hospital and the Trust has a large
dedicated Postgraduate Centre where there are weekly Grand Rounds for the Trust as a whole. In
addition, there are twice weekly educational meetings for doctors within the department and regional
courses for postgraduate teaching.
MANAGEMENT
The Clinical Head of Division of Children’s Services is Mr James Bruce, Consultant Surgeon. The
Associate Head of Division is Miss Naomi davis. The Director of Children’s Services is Mr Alwyn Hughes.
With the advent of clinical governance, it is expected that all consultants will work together with senior
nursing staff on different aspects of the trust governance framework to ensure that the paediatric
department runs a high quality, low risk service which includes good education for staff and an established
system of ongoing audit. Past experience of audit and a commitment to undertaking quality audits in post
is essential as is some previous managerial experience.
The new consultants will be expected to share with the existing consultants in mentoring and supervising
junior medical staff in the hospital and to contribute to managerial duties within the department.
The post holders will be expected to participate in the clinical governance arrangements for hospital
services. The post holders are accountable to the clinical directors, and responsible to the Chief
Executive.
