Join to apply for the Locum Consultant in Gastroenterology role at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
We are inviting applications for a full time Locum Consultant in Gastroenterology for a 12 month fixed term post based at Ipswich Hospital.
The gastroenterology consultants work within a multi-disciplinary team, with access to modern endoscopy facilities and equipment. The aim of the department is to maintain an efficient and friendly service for our local population. The department promotes and develops gastroenterology services in light of rapidly evolving and changing technology.
The successful candidate will work as a Consultant in Gastroenterology with a sub speciality interest in any of: luminal IBD / advanced endoscopy techniques including EUS/ HPB services and general gastroenterology.
The post will consist of 10 Programmed Activities which includes 2 SPAs. Any additional PAs that may be required will be discussed, agreed and job planned with the successful appointee.
Each gastroenterologist spends 5 weeks looking after all the medical gastroenterology patients on a designated GI ward. Two ward rounds are undertaken per week when on the wards (see proposed timetable below). The care of the ward in-patients is supported by two Gastro StRs, one CT1/2, one VTS and one FI doctor.
When off the wards, the ward round sessions may be utilised for extra service provision such as an extra clinic and/or an extra endoscopy list dependent on the service needs at that time. Currently most of the consultants in the department work above the 10PA contract, however if the successful appointee would like to work to a 10PA contract then the sessional commitments for the appointee when off the wards would be adjusted to reduce their clinical sessions during this period, maintaining an average of 10 PAs per week over a rolling rota period. There is no general medical on-call commitment in this post.
