Consultant Gastroenterologist Special interest in BCSP and Endoscopy

The primary focus of the role is thedelivery and further development of Bowel Cancer Screening Programme within the Trust. The successful candidate should have both subspecialty interest in BCSP and management of complex polyps (EMR). They will contribute to audit and service improvement plans in line with JAG and BCSP.

In addition to advanced endoscopy, the postholder will contribute to general gastroenterology services, including inpatient care, outpatient clinics, and participation in the gastroenterology on-call rota. The balance of clinical activity will reflect the advanced endoscopy nature of the post, with a significant proportion of programmed activities allocated to BCSP.

A commitment to Endoscopy is expected and with appropriate allocation in the job plan the candidate will make an equal contribution to the care of Gastroenterology inpatients and the out-of-hours GI-Bleed endoscopy service which is 1:7 at present with plans to transition to a 1:8 model with further recruitment.

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust.
