Consultant Histopathologist, Manx Care
Consultant Histopathologist,
Manx Care
Isle of Man
United Kingdom
We are looking for a Consultant Histopathologist to join our small, friendly, forward-thinking and dedicated team in the Pathology department within Manx Care.
This vital job offers a unique, rewarding and diverse environment to work, that comes with an island setting. You’ll be based in a district general hospital laboratory setting and will get to perform a range of specialist investigations due to our island location.
The suitable candidate for this post will have a subspecialist interest in either colorectal or breast pathology and provide the pathology lead for the relevant MDTs. Colorectal and breast are the two areas where major cancer resections are performed at Noble’s Hospital, but a wide range of other specimens are received, and it is hoped that the successful candidates will have complementary areas of general expertise.
You'll also have the opportunity to help the Department work towards UKAS accreditation and the future strategy for cellular pathology services on the Isle of Man.

Noble’s Hospital provides a comprehensive range of services typical of most district general hospitals including acute medicine, general and orthopaedic surgery, maternity, paediatrics, special care baby unit, intensive therapy unit and critical care unit.
Noble’s Hospital offers a modern endoscopy unit which is home to high quality facilities that includes three procedure rooms, single sex recovery bays, decontamination facilities and a dedicated patient reception and waiting area. It offers services for gastrointestinal, urological and respiratory investigations with endoscopes.
Procedures available at the suite currently include:
• Gastroscopy
• Colonoscopy
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy
• Capsule Endoscopy – small bowel investigation
• Cystoscopy (The Urology service)
• TRUS biopsy (The Urology service)
• Bronchoscopy (The Respiratory service)
• Bravo capsule
• Haemorrhoid banding
• Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion (PEG)
• Polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection
• Oesophageal and colonic dilation
Experienced nurses support the routine sessions that are performed throughout the week by various members of both the medical and surgical staff. The respiratory physician uses the facility for bronchoscopy. Previously ERCP has been carried out and we are looking to restart this and repatriate patients from the UK. There are probably just over a hundred ERCPs a year undertaken for Isle of Man patients.
The hospital is currently exploring the potential to take part in the Merseyside & Cheshire Cancer Alliance Capsule Endoscopy Network programme to improve the effectiveness of the delivery of capsule endoscopies and the reading of their results.
