This is a locum gastroenterology consultant position based across the community hospital sites of Leicestershire delivering endoscopy and outpatient sessions. There are 4 sites which deliver endoscopy services (Loughborough, Melton, Market Harborough and Hinckley) and it is likely the successful candidate will work across all four across the month. Outpatient services are delivered at these sites and also at Coalville, Oakham and Lutterworth and there may be opportunities for the post holder to run sessions from these sites.
There will be opportunities to link in with the wider consultant team via the weekly IBD MDT and the monthly DDC meeting. There will be no on call, in reach or ward commitment as part of this role.
There is significant investment in endoscopy services in Leicestershire with a new two roomed endoscopy unit opening at Hinckley Hospital in February 2025. In August 2025 a 6 roomed endoscopy unit will open at the Leicester General Hospital.
The overriding purpose is to support the provision of highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement.
