The General Surgery Department at Weston General Hospital, as part of the wider University Hospitals Bristol and Weston are looking for a new clinical fellow colleague (ST3+) to help provide high quality care for the adult population of Weston and the larger North Somerset area.
As a department of 7 substantive consultants (3 colorectal, 3 Upper GI, 1 General) we want to encourage applicants to these clinical fellow posts to develop professionally at the same rate as deanery trainees in the department. Our aim is to support successful applicants in their career choices, whether that is in gaining a training number or in gaining competencies that allow for a successful CESR application. We have ample opportunities to help achieve anything a successful applicant wishes, including endoscopy. These posts will have the potential to be converted into permanent positions for those wishing to have more continuity in their professional and personal lives.
Weston is a small hospital within a much larger trust which provides exciting chances in a supportive environment, where people actually get to know you. We are part of the Severn Deanery at Foundation and Registrar level and University of Bristol medical students have numerous placements with us. Numerous teaching opportunities therefore exist, at all levels.
The Colorectal department offers care to a wide range of Colorectal/General Surgery conditions and strives to provide patients with individualised clinic care. The team provides an inpatient, outpatient and emergency hospital service to the adult population which includes patients with newly-diagnosed colorectal cancer in addition to the service for existing colorectal cancer patients. We provide expertise in a range of benign and elective colorectal conditions in the acute and elective setting. The department has consultant-led outpatient clinics, surgery, oncology (including chemotherapy), diagnostic imaging and pathology services which are all provided on site. This post offers training equivalent to the Deanery appointed ST3 posts which will include elective care and emergency on-call duties. The Clinical Fellow (ST3 level) will work alongside Deanery appointed Specialist Trainees and take part in the same weekend on-call rota with an on call supplement added to their salary. The day to day running of inpatients services is managed by a team comprising F1/2 doctors, CT Level Clinical Fellows/SHO and a Specialist Registrars.
