Clinical Fellow in Endoscopy / Luminal Gastroenterology
We are actively promoting flexible working options, helping you to manage a work/life balance.
Job overview
This is a six-month post in the first instance with the option by mutual agreement to extend this by a further 6 months, as a whole-time non-resident Clinical Fellow in Endoscopy. The role is designed to provide the candidate with additional experience in Luminal Endoscopy and advanced therapeutic endoscopy, either in upper or lower GI, at a peri or post CCT level.
Main duties of the job
The candidate should have completed basic medical training, passed their MRCP examination, hold a valid JAG certificate, and be independent in diagnostic upper & lower GI endoscopy. Preference will be given to candidates whose Curriculum Vitae shows good career progression.
The endoscopy department provides an extensive range of both diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and will provide an excellent opportunity for the candidate to develop a specialist interest in therapeutic endoscopy. UHL is also involved in the national bowel cancer screening programme.
The appointment will be full-time. Any clinical fellow who is unable to work full-time for personal reasons will be eligible to be considered for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis in consultation with the supervising Consultant and manager.
