Overview
Join to apply for the Consultant Hepatologist role at Buy A Boat Now.
The new appointment will join a team of eight Medical Gastroenterologists (6 Luminal, 2 Liver) who work as a single team, sharing responsibility for the management of inpatients. Management of outpatients is split into the Liver and Luminal teams. We have an excellent day-case unit exclusively for GI services which, along with our 3 Hepatology specialist nurses, allows us to deliver ambulatory care for patients with liver disease including nurse-led early discharge clinic, monitoring and assessment of patients with acute and chronic liver disease and day case paracentesis.
The department has received significant investment over the last 18 months, with a new £4.99m unit which opened in December 2023. Training is an important element of our practice at Torbay and our new colleague would be encouraged to engage with the delivery of courses and in-house training.
We offer a generous relocation package, which can be discussed with the successful candidate.
Torbay Hospital is an academy site of the virtual South West Endoscopy Training Academy (SWETA), delivering a programme of nationally recognised endoscopic skills and simulation training within the region. We are inclusive and value diversity in our organisation and the communities we serve. Our compassionate leadership approach and our culture charter are key to creating a great place to work where everyone feels that they belong.
