Job summary
Locum Consultant - Fixed term 1 year
This advertisement is for a new post within the department of gastroenterology at the NNUH. We are looking to attract a high-quality Luminal GI Locum Consultant with a subspecialist interest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease who wishes to establish themselves as academic clinician scientists.
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.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
