This post offers unique Out of Programme for Training (OOPT) in two of the UK’s most prestigious hospitals.
The successful candidate will spend 6 months in the Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplant Unit at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge and 6 months in the Intestinal Rehabilitation Unit at St Mark’s Hospital, London, though the option is available to spend the entire year at either site. At Addenbrooke’s this role involves assessing patients’ suitability for transplant and providing inpatient and outpatient care of patients post-transplant. At St Mark's, the post holder will gain specialist training in the care of patients with Intestinal Failure, nutrition, and advanced inflammatory bowel disease.
Main Duties of the Job
At both sites, the post holder will be supported by a multi-disciplinary team including Gastroenterologists, Transplant and Colorectal Surgeons, Specialist Nurses, Dietitians, Pharmacists, and other junior doctors.
Applicants should be training in Gastroenterology or Internal Medicine. The post can be taken up in ST5, ST6, or ST7 year.

In order to be considered, applicants must meet the essential criteria outlined in the person specification.
