As a Consultant Endoscopist, the successful candidate will be part of one of the largest endoscopy services in the country, involved in various procedures, including NHS Bowel Cancer screening program colonoscopy, ERCP, and advanced Lower GI techniques. The position allows for active participation in service development and the chance to influence the delivery of endoscopy services for the local community. This is a remarkable time to join the team, leveraging recent investments and an award-winning approach to healthcare diagnostics.
Our thriving and dynamic Gastroenterology department is based at Royal Oldham Hospital, Fairfield General Hospital and Rochdale Infirmary, and is part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA).
This is a unique and exciting time to join an NHS service that is focused on delivering the best healthcare services to our local population, demonstrated by recent investment in an award winning Community Diagnostic Centre in Oldham (CDC), away from the acute site. This state of the art modular build has PET-CT (to be upgraded to one of the first digital PET CT scanners in the country), MR, CT, Ultrasound and physiological testing.
It has been the focus of national attention and has been visited by the Prime Minister, Professor Sir Mike Richards and the National Clinical Director for Elective care. It recently won two HSJ Partnership awards and has featured in National news articles about diagnostics.
In Autumn 2024 the Community Diagnostic Centre will be enhanced further by a co-located 3 room endoscopy unit with clinical rooms and on-site decontamination. Our ambition at the CDC is to transform the way that we traditionally deliver healthcare and to explore new and innovative delivery models that reflect the needs of both our staff and our patients.
Your patients will potentially undergo diagnostic endoscopy, physiological and radiological staging in one visit. There cannot be a better time to join our team.
Alongside the CDC, there are 3 endoscopy units across 3 sites (Royal Oldham Hospital, Fairfield General Hospital, Rochdale Infirmary) making this one of the largest endoscopy services in the country. The Endoscopy service offers NHS Bowel Cancer screening programme colonoscopy, ERCP, HPB, EUS, advanced Lower GI EMR/ ESD are delivered within the Trust.
With the expansion of our endoscopy service, we are looking to recruit a Consultant Endscopist to help deliver the highest quality Endoscopy service to our local population. Team members within the service will have the opportunity to influence the development of services.
