Locum Consultant Gastroenterology Luminal
Join to apply for the Locum Consultant Gastroenterology Luminal role at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust .
Locum Consultant - Fixed term 1 year
This advertisement is for a new post within the department of gastroenterology at the NNUH. We are looking to attract a high-quality Luminal GI Locum Consultant with a subspecialist interest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease who wishes to establish themselves as academic clinician scientists.
The post holder will be expected to be proficient in emergency endoscopy including management of varices (not necessarily gastric varices). The out of hours “on call” commitment will include emergency gastroenterology and hepatology referrals and emergency endoscopy cover for the Trust as part of a formal upper GI bleeding rota that the department offers 24/7 service in accordance with NICE guidelines.
Out of hours endoscopy cover is supported by 2 on-call endoscopy nurses and most cases are scoped in the endoscopy department although emergency theatres and full anaesthetic cover is available for severe cases. ERCP/EUS experience is not required for these posts. We currently have a small bowel capsule service, but if a post holder wished to undertake these, this would also be supported.
Academic Gastroenterology and the Norwich Research Park
The Norwich Medical School within the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH) are both members of an overarching entity the Norwich Research Park (NRP) which has biomedical science as its major driver and as a deliverable. Aside from the NNUH and UEA, the Norwich Research Park includes the Sainsbury Laboratory and 3 Institutes supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) - namely the Quadram Institute that has the Quadram Biosciences, the John Innes Centre (JIC) and the Earlham Institute (a genome analysis centre). All of these are within 12 minutes-walk of each other, facilitating close working relationships and networking. As already mentioned, the new endoscopy centre is in the newly built Quadram centre.
