Consultant in Gastroenterology / Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer
North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust
It is an exciting time to join North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) as we work with the University of Cumbria and Imperial College London to launch the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine (PCSM) in 2025. Our vision is to be a leading organisation for medical education and training.
We are seeking to recruit a Consultant Gastroenterologist who will embed themselves as a practising clinician at NCIC, but also spend part of their time working collaboratively to help develop and eventually deliver teaching in Gastroenterology at PCSM.
The North Cumbria GI Service is a new, cohesive and integrated department, combining the services of gastroenterology and endoscopy, upper gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, colorectal, emergency GI surgery. Sub specialty interest will be encouraged where this contributes to and complements the department and Trust's service needs.
While appointees will be appointed to a base unit, all members of the team will be expected to contribute to all aspects of the general gastroenterology service across the Trust.
Main duties of the job
This is a joint post between NCIC and PCSM, which will enable the postholder to develop a career both in medical education alongside clinical practice.
At PCSM, you will be working as the Subject Lead for Gastroenterology, developing and delivering the curriculum, from the anatomy, pathophysiology and clinical skills to the design of suitable clinical placements across the Cumbria region.
The Gastroenterology department has two dedicated GI wards within the Cumberland Infirmary at Carlisle for the treatment of inpatients. There is a dedicated 3-room endoscopy unit at The Cumberland Infirmary and the new endoscopy unit at West Cumberland Hospital, Whitehaven has 2 dedicated rooms in a new, state of the art facility. The Trust has also just been successful in a national bid for a new 5 room Endoscopy Unit planned to open in 2025 at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle.
