Post holders will be expected to be able to perform diagnostic flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and OGD independently and hold JAG accreditation (where applicable). The post holder would also become exposed to a wide range of advanced endoscopic techniques that are performed at St Marks, including surveillance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, polyposis and hereditary cancers, advanced polypectomy, combined laparoscopic-endoscopic therapies, double balloon enteroscopy and video capsule endoscopy. There are weekly educational meetings, Grand Rounds and a polyp meeting, that the post-holder would be expected to attend. In addition, the successful applicant would be expected to take part in the departmental audits and any small clinical projects that are running in endoscopy. The post-holder may be called on to provide clinical assistance to an area outside endoscopy and cover NHS and private in-patients who have been admitted for endoscopic procedures. Participation in the on-call Gastroenterology/GI bleed rota is required. Applicants will be expected to work flexibly to help with the cover and back-filling of endoscopy lists, and there will be cross-site work performing endoscopy lists at Central Middlesex, Northwick Park and Ealing Hospitals.
