Is the time right for an acute oncology predominant job plan for oncologists?
Dr Caroline Wilson PhD FRCP Medical Oncology Consultant reflects on her role and asks if it is now the right time for an acute oncology predominant job plan for oncologists?
Caroline is a UKAOS Trustee and Board Member and has worked hard to develop and promote Acute Oncology Services for the last 10 years. Caroline describes Acute Oncology as a side helping to her site specific role as a breast oncologist , but is it now time to for Acute Oncology to be recognised as predominant interest in the oncologist job plan?

This is a very exciting PhD opportunity to explore the acute oncology pathway to improve support for patients.
This novel PhD aims to understand what it is like to experience the acute oncology pathway, for patients, acute oncology staff and other Health Care Professionals (HCPs) who interact with acute oncology patients, identifying unmet patient needs, understanding Health Care Professionals views and experiences of service delivery, and exploring where improvements could be made. This is an incredibly exciting and important area of research, and would be suited a researcher with experience of cancer, health care or health services research or a health care professional with research experience
