In this position, the consultant will be supported by on-call endoscopy nurses for out-of-hours procedures, and emergency cases will primarily be handled in the endoscopy department with full anaesthetic support as needed. While experience in ERCP/EUS is not required, the opportunity to engage with a small bowel capsule service exists for those interested.
Locum Consultant - Fixed term 1 year
This advertisement is for a new post within the department of gastroenterology at the NNUH. We are looking to attract a high-quality Luminal GI Locum Consultant with a subspecialist interest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease who wishes to establish themselves as academic clinician scientists.
This post has arisen due to the need to expand our academic staff in alignment with the NNUH Trusts executive research position led by Professor Erika Denton and Professor Kristian Bowles.
The post holder will be expected to be proficient in emergency endoscopy including management of varices (not necessarily gastric varices). The out of hours "on call" commitment will include emergency gastroenterology and hepatology referrals and emergency endoscopy cover for the Trust as part of a formal upper GI bleeding rota that the department offers 24/7 service in accordance with NICE guidelines.
Out of hours endoscopy cover is supported by 2 on-call endoscopy nurses and most cases are scoped in the endoscopy department although emergency theatres and full anaesthetic cover is available for severe cases. ERCP/EUS experience is not required for these posts. We currently have a small bowel capsule service, but if a post holder wished to undertake these, this would also be supported.
