Consultant Gastroenterologist

3 weeks ago

Inverness, United Kingdom Nhs Highland Full time

Come and join our growing gastroenterology team situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the country with views over the Moray Firth. Surrounded by the natural beauty, history, and lifestyle opportunities of the Highlands, but well connected by road and rail and to major hubs by air, Inverness is Scotland's fastest growing city. We are inviting applications for a Consultant Gastroenterologist to join our existing multidisciplinary team.
NHS Highland has the only JAG accredited endoscopy unit in an acute site in Scotland, with the lowest endoscopy waiting times in Scotland. We serve a population of around 350,000, dispersed through 40% of the land area of Scotland. Our remote and rural geography informs the structure of our service. We provide a comprehensive gastroenterology, hepatology, and clinical nutrition service, using technological and collaborative solutions to deliver care in settings appropriate to patients' needs.
This post is based in Inverness, using NHS Near Me/ Attend Anywhere virtual conversation (developed with patients in Highland), Teams-based MDT discussion, and traditional face-to-face clinics in a network of rural and community hospitals to serve our communities. We are part of the North of Scotland Cancer Network, linking Highland, Grampian, Tayside, and the Island health boards, and actively take part in national audits and Scotland-wide initiatives such as the Scottish Autoimmune Liver Group and CfSD guideline working groups.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to training and supervision of doctors in training, specialist nurses, and medical students. Gastroenterology and hepatology inpatient care and participation in the GI bleed rota is part of this role. Acute medical take is not expected to be part of this post but may be available for those who wish to do so. We are keen to accommodate specialist interests, and dedicated research sessions may be available for suitable candidates.
There is immediate availability for a locum post, for which CCT in gastroenterology is not essential. Flexible working including less than full time can be negotiated, as can participation in the NHS Scotland Global Citizenship Programme, which aims to support NHS staff who wish to undertake overseas work in low or middle-income countries (LMIs). An initial fixed term post with the option for extension may also be considered.
Applicants are welcome to visit and we would strongly encourage those that are shortlisted to speak with the informal contacts and other relevant senior colleagues. You can ask for a Teams meeting to be set up through the department contact.
Interviews will be held via Microsoft Teams.
For further information, please contact:
Dr Andrea Broad, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, or
Dr Catherine Fraser, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Closing date: Midnight Sunday 5th January 2025.

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
