Hello, my name is Dr Hazel Pearse and I am the Head of Clinical Service for Haematology, Oncology and Palliative Care at Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Acute oncology patients are seen in a dedicated ambulatory unit on ward 20B by the acute oncology CNS team with Advanced Clinical Practitioner support. There is CMT and FY2 support for in-patients.

Mid Yorkshire provides a full range of secondary care cancer services and is located the cancer centres of Leeds and Sheffield. Historically there is close collaborative working with Leeds Teaching Hospitals. Videoconferencing of multidisciplinary meetings with the cancer centre at Leeds are in place for upper gastrointestinal cancer, urological cancer and haematology malignancies.

The Medical Oncology Department at Mid Yorkshire offers a supportive and encouraging environment in which to develop as a professional in our exciting specialist field. The successful team member will also benefit from close working with our visiting clinical oncology colleagues from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
