Job summary

Consultant in Inflammatory Bowel Disease/Luminal Gastroenterology

This advertisement is for a new post within the Department of Gastroenterology at the NNUH. We are looking to attract high quality Luminal GI Consultants with a subspecialist interest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease who wish to establish themselves as academic clinician scientists.

This post has arisen due to the need to expand our academic staff in alignment with the NNUH Trusts executive research position led by Professor Erika Denton and Professor Kristian Bowles.

This opportunity has been uniquely created to allow the post holder to develop themselves both as a clinical gastroenterologist, whilst also offering 20% protected time within UEA Faculty of Medicine and the Quadram Institute.

This post is a fully funded NHS post with 80% clinical and 20% research time included in the job plan for the first 5 years. During this time the expected post holder will be expected to write and be awarded a national grant (NIHR/MRC/Welcome) and develop a clear research theme within the NRP (NNUH/UEA/Quadram).

Main duties of the job

The post holder will be expected to be proficient in emergency endoscopy including management of varices (not necessarily gastric varices). The out of hours "on call" commitment will include emergency gastroenterology and hepatology referrals and emergency endoscopy cover for the Trust as part of a formal upper GI bleeding rota that the department offers 24/7 service in accordance with NICE guidelines.

Out of hours endoscopy cover is supported by 2 on-call endoscopy nurses and most cases are scoped in the endoscopy department although emergency theatres and full anaesthetic cover is available for severe cases. ERCP/EUS experience is not required for these posts. We currently have a small bowel capsule service, but if a post holder wished to undertake these, this would also be supported.

All consultants, including the appointee, will be expected to be involved in implementing the Trust's Clinical Governance programme. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal, and risk management.

The successful applicant will share an office, equipped with a personal computer and full access to trust IT systems, with 1 other consultant. There will be full secretarial support.
