The job role is flexible and LGI FDS and Clinical Sessions can be arranged to optimise research time (within reason and with adequate notice). Sessions are annualised.

The Colorectal Unit in Buckinghamshire Healthcare consists of five full time colorectal surgeons providing all aspects of elective colorectal specialisms, including colorectal and anal cancer surgery, with a very high proportion of these being performed laparoscopically, and since 2022 also robotically. Our colorectal cancer surgeons are amongst the highest volume surgeons in NBOCA, with excellent outcomes. We work closely with our Gastroenterologists in a well-functioning IBD MDT. Further services include colorectal Pelvic Floor Surgery (linked to St Marks Hospital Pelvic Floor MDT), surgery for Spinal Cord Injury patients on the National Spinal Injuries Unit, and a multi-speciality Complex Abdominal Wall Repair and Perineal Hernia MDT, alongside our Plastic Surgery Department. TAMIS for large rectal polyps and early rectal cancer is performed by Mr Goede and Mr El-Khani. This post is primarily with Mr Goede and Mr El-Khani and therefore mostly robotic, with significant laparoscopic and TAMIS work, and also includes spinal and pelvic floor speciality work.
