Ipswich Suffolk, United Kingdom NHS Full time €13,000
Consultant in Gastroenterology Luminal IBD East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust

Applications are invited from enthusiastic, motivated and committed individuals to join our friendly and dynamic team within the Gastroenterology department, primarily based at Ipswich Hospital.

The General Surgery and Gastroenterology Clinical Delivery Group (CDG) has speciality level clinical leadership, one Clinical Lead per specialty at each site.

The Department of Gastroenterology works as a sub-department within the Surgery and Anaesthetics Division which incorporates upper gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery as well as other surgical specialties.

The gastroenterology consultants work within a multi-disciplinary team, with access to modern endoscopy facilities and equipment. The aim of the department is to maintain an efficient and friendly service for our local population. The department promotes and develops gastroenterology services in light of rapidly evolving and changing technology.

Our Enhanced Welcome package includes an additional £13,000 and relocation costs to thank you for choosing to work at our trust and your new journey with ESNEFT.

Main duties of the job

The post will consist of 10 Programmed Activities which includes 2 SPAs. Any additional PAs that may be required will be discussed, agreed and job planned with the successful appointee.

Each gastroenterologist spends 5 weeks looking after all the medical gastroenterology patients on a designated GI ward. Two ward rounds are undertaken per week when on the wards. The care of the ward in-patients is supported by two Gastro StRs, one CT1/2, one VTS and one FI doctor.

When off the wards, the ward round sessions may be utilised for extra service provision such as an extra clinic and/or an extra endoscopy list dependent on the service needs at that time. Currently most of the consultants in the department work above the 10PA contract; however, if the successful appointee would like to work to a 10PA contract, then the sessional commitments for the appointee when off the wards would be adjusted to reduce their clinical sessions during this period, maintaining an average of 10 PAs per week over a rolling rota period. There is no general medical on-call commitment in this post.

Job responsibilities

The successful candidate will work as a Consultant in Gastroenterology with a sub-speciality interest in luminal and IBD gastroenterology. Outpatient/Day case investigations are facilitated by a modern Endoscopy Unit with 4 nurse endoscopists and the development of 1 more is in place. We have 3 screening lists a week, capsule endoscopy, ERCP and EUS. There is a Urea Breath testing service for Helicobacter pylori.

The Department of Diagnostic imaging provides a comprehensive range of diagnostic multi-slice CT scanners and MRI scanners as well as providing a wide range of interventional services. The Department of Nuclear Medicine offers a comprehensive range of radio nucleotide investigations. Small bowel USS is a new addition to our IBD service.

The ideal candidate will have wide experience in the management of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary emergencies and will have a subspeciality luminal /IBD interest. They will also need to be fully proficient in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy including colonoscopy. The team actively encourage the development of a specialist interest, thus improving current service provision and supporting service expansion.

It is envisaged that the successful appointee will work with the existing 5 full-time gastroenterologists on GI Triage 1: 6 weekend for triage, the GI ward and provide a 1 in 12 on-call GI bleeding rota cross site with Colchester but a day off after every on-call, caring for all gastroenterology in-patients.
