SUMMARY INFORMATION
POST: CONSULTANT CLINICAL/MEDICAL ONCOLOGIST
BASE: BEATSON WEST OF SCOTLAND CANCER CENTRE
The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre (WoSCC), is seeking to appoint a
Consultant Oncologists with an initial sub-specialist interest in urological cancers.
There will be an opportunity for successful applicants to negotiate different sub
specialist interests post-appointment. These posts will also contribute leadership and
development input into the newly opened Acute Oncology Assessment Unit within
the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. This post is open to both medical
oncology and clinical oncology applicants.
The new Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre (BWoSCC) opened in May 2007,
completing a state of the art comprehensive cancer centre that has cost £110 million.
It is Scotland’s largest cancer centre, and the second largest in the UK. The centre
has undergone unprecedented investment and our clinical teams deliver oncology
services to a catchment population of 2.9 million people across 4 Health Board
areas. The centre is part of the CRUK virtual comprehensive cancer treatment and
research centre which also includes the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research and
Translational Research Centre. It incorporates the Regional Haemato-oncology
Autologous Transplant Unit and the National Allogeneic Transplant Service for
haematological malignancies for Scotland
The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre (BWoSCC) is superbly equipped with
11 linear accelerators, the majority of which incorporate facilities for VMAT and onboard imaging (OBI). There are 2 recently installed state-of-the-art Varian
TrueBeamTM units, with 1 more shortly to be commissioned. These facilities have
allowed a dynamic, “can-do” approach to the development of new treatment
techniques. The centre has recently launched high intensity mode (24 Gy/min)
VMAT for stereotactic intracranial radiosurgery and for lung stereotactic ablative
radiotherapy (SABR), both firsts for the UK. In addition, VMAT has become a well
established routine treatment for all radical head and neck, brain and prostate.
We anticipate VMAT becoming the treatment of choice at the centre for most radical
radiotherapy within the next 12 months. There are exciting programmes underway
to establish the technique for gynaecological, colo-rectal, lung treatment and prostate
SABR. Supporting these developments is an expanding IGRT programme with
facilities for CBCT, 4DCT, on-site MRI and PET/CT. 4DCT imaging is offered
routinely for lung, and, driven by local clinical interest, will shortly be introduced for
pancreas and breast. Imaging is supported by 3 CT Simulators and 1 conventional
simulator.
The centre has a generously equipped brachytherapy facility with dedicated theatre
and 2 HDR treatment units. On-site MRI is used to facilitate imaged-guided
brachytherapy for cervix. There is an established LDR seed programme for
prostate.
The Beatson is an internationally renowned academic centre, with Professors of
Medical Oncology, Gyneacological Oncology Clinical Oncology, Translational
Research and Surgical Oncology currently in post. Professor Karen Vousden leads a
renowned CRUK core-funded program of research at the internationally competitive
Beatson Institute for Cancer Research.
In addition, the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre Clinical Research Unit is
the largest of its kind to be funded by Cancer Research UK. The unit offers support
to all clinicians within the BWoSCC to initiate and conduct first-in man clinical trials.
The unit has a large portfolio of Phase I-III studies across the range of cancer subspecialties and has a particular interest in the development of new anti-cancer drugs,
supported by designated staff and facilities for Phase I/Early Phase II clinical trials.
The unit also houses Scotland’s first ever co-ordinating centre for the National
Cancer Research Institute.
Glasgow has excellent schools, public transport and recreational facilities.
You should be appropriately experienced and qualified in the specialty, fully
registered with the GMC and have a licence to practice. Those trained in the UK
should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or eligibility for
specialist registration (CESR) or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from date of
Interview. Non UK applicants must demonstrate equivalent training.

over 10,000 new patients a year and over 70,000 return patients. Over
105,000 fractions of radiotherapy and 27,000 cycles of chemotherapy
are given each year in the centre alone. The clinical teams also deliver
medical cancer treatments in 13 local hospitals in partnership with local
specialist cancer teams. The centre employs over 800 staff including
50 consultants in oncology and haematology. The annual budget of
Specialist Oncology Services is over 50m.
The centre has 170 beds in 9 wards (3 Wards of 40 beds are for
haemato-oncology). One of these wards runs as an 8 bedded
Brachytherapy Unit and one as an 18 bed 5 day/week chemotherapy
ward. There is also a large and busy Day Case Chemotherapy Unit
comprising 36 treatment stations. The centre has its own out-patient
department and a large aseptic facility for cytotoxic reconstitution. The
unit has an accredited gene therapy aseptic facility. Up to 8
appropriate patients are accommodated in a local hotel while they
undergo radiotherapy. The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre
(BWoSCC) is superbly equipped with 11 linear accelerators, the
majority of which incorporate facilities for VMAT and on-board imaging
(OBI). There are 2 recently installed state-of-the-art Varian
TrueBeamTM units, with 1 more shortly to be commissioned. These
facilities have allowed a dynamic, “can-do” approach to the
development of new treatment techniques. The centre has recently
launched high intensity mode (24 Gy/min) VMAT for stereotactic
intracranial radiosurgery and for lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy
(SABR), both firsts for the UK. In addition, VMAT has become a well
established routine treatment for all radical head and neck, brain and
prostate.
We anticipate VMAT becoming the treatment of choice at the centre for
most radical radiotherapy within the next 12 months. There are
exciting programmes underway to establish the technique for
gynaecological, colo-rectal, lung treatment and prostate SABR.
Supporting these developments is an expanding IGRT programme with
facilities for CBCT, 4DCT, on-site MRI and PET/CT. 4DCT imaging is
offered routinely for lung, and, driven by local clinical interest, will
shortly be introduced for pancreas and breast. Imaging is supported
by 3 CT Simulators and 1 conventional simulator.
The centre has a generously equipped brachytherapy facility with
dedicated theatre and 2 HDR treatment units. On-site MRI is used to
facilitate imaged-guided brachytherapy for cervix. There is an
established LDR seed programme for prostate.
There is excellent access to CT, CT-PET and MRI scanning facilities
for radiation planning, both in the Cancer Centre and in the adjacent
West of Scotland Pet Centre. A second CT-PET scanner has been
installed in June 2011. The West Glasgow Hospitals and many of the
District General Hospitals throughout the Region where digital
communication links can transmit CT scan images to the centre. There
is excellent co-operation with the Regional Department of Clinical
Physics and Bio-Engineering whose headquarters are at the Western
Infirmary. The Radiotherapy Division is based in the Cancer Centre. A
large program of research and development in radiation physics has
been developed, including research fellows and research physicists.
The Radiotherapy Research Group and its program are led by
Professor Anthony Chalmers.
National services at the Cancer Centre include sarcoma, prostate
brachytherapy, allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and ophthalmic
oncology. The Cancer Centre offers the full range of evidence-based
regional oncology services including CHART therapy for lung cancer.
The Cancer Centre is an internationally renowned academic centre,
with Professors of Medical Oncology, Clinical Oncology, Translational
Research currently in post. Professor Karen Vousden heads the
laboratories at the internationally renowned Beatson Institute for
Cancer Research, located 3 miles from the centre. This initiative,
developed in collaboration with Cancer Research UK, offers unrivalled
opportunity for collaboration in basic cancer research. The Beatson
Institute has undergone a £30 million redevelopment funded by Cancer
Research UK and the University of Glasgow. A Translational Research
Centre is being built on the Garscube Estate to complete a virtual
comprehensive cancer research and treatment centre, given CRUK
Centre status in 2011. The Cancer Sciences Division was 4th in the
whole of the United Kingdom in the 2009 Research Assessment
Evaluation
For the Cancer Centre as a whole, there are particular close links with
the academic departments in Glasgow University of gynaecology,
surgery, pathology, dermatology and ophthalmology. These involve
several joint clinics as well as clinical research projects. Close links
also exist with Caledonian University (therapy radiography), Strathclyde
University and Paisley University (radiation physics).
In addition, the Clinical Research Unit at the BWOSCC is the largest of
its kind to be funded by Cancer Research UK. It houses Scotland’s
first ever co-ordinating centre for the National Cancer Research
Institute. The unit offers support to all clinicians within the BWOSCC to

Phase I - III studies across the range of cancer sub-specialties and has
a particular interest in the development of first-in-man anti-cancer
drugs. It is supported by designated staff and facilities for Phase I/early
Phase II clinical trials. The trials unit has been rated alpha-star by
external review. Already, at least 11% of the regional cancer centre’s
patients are entered into clinical trials.
Clinics are held in eight hospitals within NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde
and in seven in other board areas. Chemotherapy is prescribed and
delivered in nine hospitals out with the city of Glasgow.
