Oncology Registrar

Inspire Medical is recruiting Oncology Registrars for fixed term vacancies at various locations across the country, in both HSE hospitals and private hospitals. Posts sit within the medical oncology service of a cancer centre or a hospital with a day ward, covering the oncology day ward, inpatient beds, outpatient clinics and the multidisciplinary team meetings.

Fixed term contracts run from three months to a full six-month rotation aligned to the January and July changeovers, with longer terms available in some services. Salary and rates vary depending on whether the post is private or HSE — HSE posts pay on the HSE NCHD scale, private posts at the hospital’s own rate. General Registration with the Irish Medical Council is mandatory.

Consultant Medical Oncologist

• Assess and manage oncology inpatients and day ward patients under consultant supervision, including the prescribing and review of systemic anti-cancer therapy in line with the service’s protocols.

• See new and review patients in outpatient clinics and present cases at the multidisciplinary team meeting.
• Take part in the medical on-call rota where the post carries one, and hand over safely at the start and end of every shift.
• Keep accurate, timely clinical records and support clinical trial recruitment where the service runs trials.
