7 days ago


Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds Teaching Hospitals Full time

This is a 10 PA locum appointment for a Locum Consultant Gastroenterologist for a 6 month period. This post will deliver 10 PAs supporting both the inpatient and outpatient general gastroenterology service, but with the opportunity to pursue a specialist interest in IBD, neurogastroenterology, small bowel disorders, hepatobiliary medicine, interventional endoscopy including EUS/ERCP, or nutrition. The post will be based at St Jamess University Hospital (SJUH). We also provide outpatient services at Leeds General Infirmary and Wharfedale General Hospital.

We are a large yet cohesive department. We provide care for all aspects of gastrointestinal disease to a large local population and receive tertiary referrals into our subspecialty services. We have two inpatient wards in the modern Bexley wing at SJUH. Both wards have excellent, well-established teams of nursing staff and we are well supported by our experienced gastrointestinal pharmacy, dietetic, and radiology colleagues.

We provide high quality endoscopy training, operate up to 8 endoscopy rooms across Leeds, the majority of which have recently been refurbished with state-of-the-art equipment. We provide a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including bowel cancer screening, ERCP, interventional EUS, advanced EMR/ESD, stenting, wireless capsule endoscopy, double balloon and spiral enteroscopy, and biliary manometry. Our trainees gain valuable experience in managing complex patients within our subspecialty services. These include a large inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) service (supported by a team of IBD nurse specialists and weekly MDT with our radiologists and IBD surgeons), enteral and parenteral nutrition (PN) (including home PN), small bowel disease, and pancreaticobiliary medicine.

There is a strong research background to the unit with our two academic consultants (Prof. Ford and Dr Subramanian). The research unit is based in the Leeds Institute of Research at St Jamess on SJUH site. There are existing research programmes in the molecular biology of colorectal cancer and IBD, and current clinical research projects in IBD, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and endoscopy.

There are close links with the Clinical Research Network. Our trainees and fellows participate in recruitment for our portfolio studies, working closely with our research nurses. The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest trusts in the UK. The Trust has a values-led strategy known as The Leeds Way and is committed to high quality patient-centred care and academic and educational excellence.

Leeds is a vibrant city with stylish shopping arcades, a range of theatres, museums and sporting events, excellent transport links and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales which provide a base for lots of outdoor activities such as cycling and walking.

OBJECTIVES OF THE POST

The aim of the post is to contribute to the growing workload in general gastroenterology, but with the opportunity to pursue a specialist interest as described above. The post holder will take part in the general gastroenterology inpatient care which is organised on a rotational basis. In the outpatient setting we expect the post holder to help deliver high quality care by providing general and specialist gastroenterology clinics each week.

In addition, the post holder will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and post-graduate teaching, departmental audit and governance. To link with Consultant colleagues in other relevant site specialist teams within the CSU and across the Trust. To work with colleagues in the gastroenterology department to deliver acute on call (currently 1 in 14) for gastroenterology and hepatology inpatients, including acute gastrointestinal bleeding. This includes both out-of-hours cover in addition to acute ward rounds during normal working hours.

To contribute to research, teaching and new developments within the department. The post holder will be encouraged to facilitate and contribute to the current clinical research programmes ongoing in the department.
