Swindon, United Kingdom NHS Full time
Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

We are thrilled to announce that with the launch of our Community Diagnostic Centre in West Swindon on the horizon (Jan 2025), we are looking to expand our gastroenterology team.

We are seeking experienced Consultants to join our Gastroenterology and Hepatology department, joining an existing team of 8 senior medical staff including Consultants & SAS doctors which work across 4 endoscopy rooms at the Great Western Hospital site and screening (ERCP/stenting).

Our plans to launch the Community Diagnostic Centre in January 2025 make this an incredible time of innovation and expansion for the service, and the successful candidate will work across dual sites between the Great Western Hospital and the CDC.

Main Duties of the Job

We will use the latest Olympus scopes and stacks for both sites and offer ERCP, EUS, BCSP, Small Bowel Capsule endoscopy, Oesophageal dilatation, and 1 GA list/month. We also plan to commence Oesophageal stenting, which is currently done in radiology, with plans to incorporate this into the gastroenterology screening lists in the future.

Interest in Nutrition, IBD, and Hepatology will be encouraged. The post holder would be encouraged to develop and lead a subspecialty interest. Upper GI and HPB cancer are managed collaboratively with John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford.

Our MDTs are well supported by pathology, radiology, and surgeons working very closely with our surgical and radiology colleagues.

About Us

On joining the department, you will become part of a well-established, friendly team and will help us continue to drive forward improvements in the service we provide to our patients. You will also be offered a secretary and office space.

As a senior member of the team, you will become a key part in the delivery of training and supervision of our junior colleagues. As a Trust, we place high importance on staff wellbeing, and you will be offered a wide variety of support to help you maintain your wellbeing and to help colleagues maintain theirs.

If you would like to find out more information about this opportunity or to arrange a brief department walk around, please get in touch with Dr. Manish Hedge, Clinical Lead, at or Claire Milne, Assistant General Manager, at

We look forward to hearing from you
