Locum Consultant Gastroenterologist (Locum Consultant) - gastroenterology - East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust
East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust – Canterbury, Kent
We are a pioneering Trust, on an exciting journey of healthcare transformation, with award-winning research and innovation, and a strong team ethos. We’re looking for positive clinical leaders who want to help us deliver first-class patient care to a fascinating and complex population and be part of something special.
The Gastroenterology service is seeking candidates who are keen to help develop specialist GI services such as upper GI, Barrett’s, pH monitoring/manometry, EUS, complex polypectomy while seeking to expand the ERCP service in East Kent. Colleagues with other specialist interests complementing those already available are encouraged to apply. There are a number of posts being advertised in the service to support the implementation of a seven-day gastroenterology and endoscopic service.
The gastroenterology consultant teams provide a mix of ward cover on acute sites, supporting the Emergency floor with specialist care, performing daily board and ward rounds of patients on the specialist GI/hepatology ward supporting the delivery of SAFER. The team is supported by a complement of specialist registrars, SHOs, and FY1 doctors.
In addition to gastroenterology inpatient ward rounds, the post holder will perform OPD clinics per week and general endoscopy lists, plus a session dedicated to a specialist interest. Expertise in ERCP for one of the posts available would be welcomed, and one session per week will be dedicated to this for the appropriate individual. The post holder may be expected to fulfill some of their clinical commitments on other sites in the Trust.
