## Job Content

### Job overview

Applications are invited for the position of an Advanced IBD Fellowship at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. This fellowship provides an excellent opportunity for trainees aspiring to pursue a subspecialty career in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The successful candidate will join a cohesive and forward-looking gastroenterology and hepatology department with a strong national profile in both clinical practice and academic research. We are seeking a motivated and dynamic individual who has either completed their gastroenterology training or is in the final years of specialist training, ensuring they can gain the maximum benefit from this advanced fellowship.

The Fellow will work under the clinical supervision of eight Consultant IBD Gastroenterologists and engage in IBD research under the guidance of Professor Gordon Moran. The post includes 4–5 clinical sessions per week in IBD outpatients and endoscopy. The remaining time will be dedicated to service development projects, including digital health pathways and the advancement of a small bowel ultrasound service. Candidates with an interest in research will have the opportunity to contribute to Nottingham’s broad IBD research programme, with the potential to extend the fellowship beyond one year to pursue a PhD at UoN.

The post is designed to provide additional experience and support the candidate’s learning and professional development, with the aim of preparing them to progress towards and secure a consultant post.
