This post will work within a team of consultant colleagues to provide a comprehensive gynaecological histopathology service in the Oxford University Hospitals, including performing or supervising cut ups, microscopy, or other diagnostic techniques, reporting cases, and supporting clinical meetings and case discussions. The ability to provide support in alternative specialty pathology also would be an advantage, and additional programmed activities may be available for this.

A willingness to adopt new diagnostic techniques into Cellular Pathology and undertake training where necessary is essential.  The department is advanced in the adoption of digital pathology.
