With the 4 gastroenterologists in post, working cross-site, subspecialty interests will be encouraged to enhance the service. Future aspirations will be to look towards a Hywel Dda Gastroenterology Service.
There is an expectation that the successful candidate participates on the Acute GI Bleed rota on a 1:8 basis.
The X-ray department has full CT, MRI, ultrasound and angiographic facilities including a day ward area for the admission and recovery of angiography patients. Cardioversions and pacing are carried out in a dedicated room on the cardiac care unit.
