Worcester, Worcestershire, United Kingdom CHEC Full time

Position Overview

Are you an accomplished Gastrointestinal Specialist eager to become part of a dedicated team at CHEC? We prioritize our workforce and are committed to enhancing community health through innovative practices. Our organization is on a transformative path to broaden our Endoscopy services, which will encompass gastroscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and haemorrhoidal banding. We have established integrated pathways that align with NHS standards to deliver patient-focused endoscopy services in a streamlined manner. Each of our facilities is designed for optimal accessibility, situated in community-centric locations with convenient public transport links.

Key Responsibilities

The Gastrointestinal Specialist will operate independently as a JAG accredited Advanced Practitioner. The service will cater to a diverse range of patients referred from both open access GP and secondary care sources, including the following procedures:

  • Upper GI: OGD with biopsy and Barrett's surveillance
  • Lower GI: colonoscopy with biopsy, polyp removal (< 1 cm), polyp surveillance, colitis monitoring, and post-cancer resection follow-up
  • Flexible sigmoidoscopy: similar to colonoscopy as clinically indicated
  • Haemorrhoid banding
Additionally, the role includes providing telephone consultations to referring clinicians, participating in company and governance meetings, and triaging patient referrals.

Our state-of-the-art surgical centers exemplify excellence, delivering comprehensive care for our patients through NHS collaborations. We uphold five core values—Caring, Passionate, Togetherness, Listening, and Focus—ensuring a positive experience for both our employees and patients.

Job Duties

The successful candidate will:

  • Independently manage endoscopy lists, including emergency cases, while collaborating with the broader CHEC Endoscopy team.
  • Exhibit advanced clinical judgment, discretion, and decision-making capabilities.
  • Autonomously diagnose and report on benign and malignant gastrointestinal conditions, discussing findings with patients.
  • Develop appropriate patient management plans, including referrals to other facilities or discharge.
  • Provide leadership, mentorship, and development opportunities for nursing and related professionals.
  • Ensure the safe delivery of services and the efficient operation of units, while fostering a capable team.
If you are a seasoned Gastrointestinal Specialist dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care, we invite you to explore this opportunity further.
