The successful candidates will contribute to the clinical care of patients with a wide range of hepatobiliary disorders through the triage and co-ordination of pancreatobiliary endoscopy referrals, including pre and post procedure management. The post-holders will work closely alongside HPB surgery and hepatology teams, as well as liaise with external referrers. There is the opportunity to attend up to 8 pancreatobiliary training endoscopy lists per week, performing ERCP and EUS under consultant supervision. The posts also offer experience in a range of other fluoroscopy-guided interventional endoscopy procedures, including enteral and colonic stent placement and jejunal feeding tube insertion. The appointees will be responsible for co-ordination of the weekly benign joint Royal Free/UCLH HPB multi-disciplinary team meeting.

There are typically 10 pancreatobiliary endoscopy lists per week available for training featuring a range of ERCP and EUS procedures.
