Taunton, Somerset, United Kingdom NHS Full time
Exciting Opportunity in Gastroenterology at Musgrove Park Hospital

This is an exciting time to join the dynamic and forward-thinking team of gastroenterologists at Musgrove Park Hospital, a leading healthcare provider in the region. Our gastroenterology and hepatology service is comprehensive, with over 4,500 new outpatient referrals annually, and we are the regional hub for the NHS bowel cancer screening programme.

We have recently invested in state-of-the-art endoscopic equipment for all our procedure rooms, and our new £80 million surgical centre/critical care build is underway, incorporating a new endoscopy suite on the Musgrove Park Hospital site. Our hospital has an excellent reputation regionally for teaching and training, provides a number of region-wide services, and has a truly patient-centred care focus throughout the organisation.

Main Duties of the Job

The Gastroenterology Department at Musgrove Park Hospital offers unique opportunities to both new and existing consultants:

  • Supportive environment for career development
  • Flexible working patterns, including annualised sessions
  • Opportunities to join the local gastroenterology chambers providing additional NHS sessions
  • Advanced endoscopy including ERCP/cholangioscopy, EUS, advanced/large polyp service, BCSP, upper and lower GI stenting
  • Excellent support from postgraduate doctors in training with 3 HEE registrar trainees, 2 stand-alone registrar posts, 2 Clinical Fellows (F3 and above), 4 ward doctors (IMT, F2 x2, F1)
  • Enhanced endoscopy training programme leading to rapid acquisition of endoscopy skills for our registrars
  • Strong research capability and delivery
  • Comprehensive sub-specialty services including UGI cancer, IBD, Hepatology and nutrition

We are committed to post-CCT development and welcome candidates who wish to further develop their range of clinical skills. We have a strong track record in this area, with recent appointees being supported with paid time and additional resources to learn Endoscopic Ultrasound, and Advanced Colonoscopy (Inc. large polyps). Furthermore, we have supported individuals who wish to develop as BCS Endoscopists.

Job Responsibilities

Medical Team

We have re-configured the medical team, re-allocating unspent budget to develop a highly successful Clinical Fellow team (F3+) and to bring in non-HEE registrars. This has improved productivity and job satisfaction for doctors and consultants.

Our endoscopy service is well-established, with state-of-the-art equipment in 6 rooms, 3 of which at the Bridgwater site, including a dedicated nasal OGD/GO physiology suite. Routine diagnostic endoscopy is predominately delivered by non-medical Endoscopists, or as training lists for gastroenterology registrars. Consultants are able to be freed up to perform more complex procedures, interventional endoscopy, and deliver intensive training programmes.
