These posts offer an exciting opportunity for ambitious and committed Consultants in Gastroenterology.

The expansion of the existing Consultant workforce will allow us to develop new and innovative approaches in the delivery of patient care that meet an increasing demand for specialist Gastroenterology services.

We are seeking to appoint motivated and enthusiastic colleagues to work with the team in NHS Ayrshire and Arran. These posts will provide a unique and exciting opportunity to be involved in shaping the future of the service. Situated on the beautiful Clyde Coast, Ayrshire & Arran is great place to live and work.

There is a wealth of beaches, golf courses, bustling market towns and stunning scenery to explore, yet University Hospital Crosshouse is still within 35 minutes' drive from the heart of the city Glasgow.

Our current team provides a comprehensive inpatient and outpatient service supported by Gastroenterology Specialist Nurses, Endoscopy Nurses, and Specialty Doctors.

We also work closely with our surgical colleagues across University Crosshouse and University Ayr hospitals. There are established teaching and research links with the University of Glasgow and Glasgow teaching hospitals. The duties of the post are biased towards the provision of specialist Gastroenterology services.

The post also includes an ongoing commitment to the supervision of in-patient general medical patient with receiving duties within the purpose built Combined Assessment Unit.

There is an active programme of postgraduate education in which all doctors are invited and encouraged to participate.

Appropriate time, support and development will be provided to allow the successful individuals to flourish and realise their professional and personal ambitions and to shape the future clinical service.

The post holders will also provide ongoing leadership and training in the expansion of innovative training posts that are community facing which offer exciting opportunities for doctors within the GP training programme and Clinical Development Fellows to work at the interface between Acute, Community and Primary Care Services, within a multi-disciplinary team.

NHS Ayrshire and Arran have built a new and supportive development programme for new consultants which provides additional management training to those in their first Consultant post.

There is also a strong focus on staff wellbeing within the Board.

Interviews are Scheduled for Monday 13th May 2024 from 2PM onwards.
