Consultant in Clinical Oncology sought for the Outpatient Clinic for Cancer Diseases

Do you want to make a difference for people with cancer, and at the same time develop professionally in a strong multidisciplinary environment?

Do you want to work with modern cancer treatment, create coherent patient pathways and follow your own patients closely? And would you like a daily life with high professionalism, engaged colleagues, opportunities for research and room for a life outside of work?

Then you may be our new colleague in the Ambulatory Department for Cancer Diseases at Sygehus Sønderjylland in Sønderborg.

We are seeking a medical specialist in clinical oncology who would like to become part of an engaged team where we combine high professional quality with presence, respect and shared responsibility for the good patient pathway.

What can we offer you?

With us you get a daily life where there is room for both professional deepening, independence and collaboration.

• Close patient contact and continuity. You will have the opportunity to follow your own patients and build long-term relationships with patients and relatives.
• Independence with collegial sparring. You will take responsibility for investigation, treatment and follow-up, while always having engaged colleagues to discuss the professional decisions with.
• Professional development. We prioritise competence development, continuing education, participation in national professional forums and relevant congresses.
• Opportunity to contribute with your own ideas and perspectives to the department's professional development and good patient pathways.
• Opportunity for research. You can engage in clinical and epidemiological research, and there is managerial backing for potentially combining the position with a research lecturership.
• Flexibility and balance. We offer the possibility of flexible work arrangements, including days with home office when tasks permit. There is also the possibility to discuss evening ambulatory.
• A good start and ongoing support. You will receive a structured introduction, training by an experienced colleague and a mentor scheme.
• A strong multidisciplinary community. You will become part of a team where we help each other, share knowledge and work together to create the best possible patient pathways.

About us

The Ambulatory Department for Cancer Diseases is part of Medical Diseases at Sygehus Sønderjylland and is located in Sønderborg. We provide cancer treatment for patients from the four South Jutland municipalities: Sønderborg, Aabenraa, Tønder and Haderslev.

We provide preventive and life-prolonging treatment for patients with breast cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer. In addition, we follow patients after treatment for malignant melanoma and low-risk breast cancer. We also have the Clinic for Late Effects after Cancer (KFS), where we help patients with late effects after cancer and cancer treatment.

We work with modern oncological treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, antihormonal treatment and biological medicines.

Our approach is based on a Patient-Responsible Doctor and Shared Decision-Making. We emphasise that patients are actively involved in decisions about their treatment, and that the collaboration between patients, relatives, doctors and nurses creates safe and coherent pathways.

A team that lifts together

You will become part of an oncological team with four medical specialists, chief nurse, nurses, project nurses, medical secretaries, psychologists, clinical dietitians and a social worker.

We collaborate closely with the other specialties involved in the investigation and treatment of cancer diseases. Each week we participate in seven multidisciplinary team conferences within breast, lung and colorectal cancer, as well as three radiology conferences. In addition, we have a formal collaboration with the cancer departments in Odense and Vejle regarding radiotherapy.

We believe that good patient pathways are created through professional dialogue, mutual respect and close cooperation across specialties and professions.

Research and professional development

Research is an integrated part of our work. We have an established and active Clinical Research Unit (KFE), which supports the department's clinical trials and registration in clinical quality databases.

The research unit ensures that clinical trials are conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), national and international guidelines and Danish law.

If you are interested in research, there is the possibility to participate in both clinical and epidemiological research in the Medical Research Unit. You can engage in existing projects and contribute to developing new research activities focusing on translating new knowledge into better treatment and patient pathways.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a medical specialist in clinical oncology who wants to contribute to the continued development of our department and create good pathways for patients with cancer.

We emphasise that you

• have a high professional commitment and interest in the development of oncology
• meet patients and their relatives with empathy, respect and professionalism
• thrive with independent responsibility and at the same time value professional sparring
• collaborate constructively across professions and specialties
• actively contribute to a good working environment and shared professional development
• are curious, flexible and want to develop both yourself and our offerings to patients.

We are interested in hearing about your professional interests and ambitions, whether they primarily relate to clinical work, research or development of patient pathways.

The position is to be filled with a medical specialist in clinical oncology. If you are applying for a position as a chief physician, five years of experience as a department head is a condition.
