The post holder will work closely with colorectal surgery, oncology, radiology, anaesthetics, and specialist nursing teams, contributing to multidisciplinary team meetings (colorectal and complex Polyp MDTs) and supporting streamlined patient pathways. The consultant will also play a role in education and training, supporting endoscopy training where appropriate, supervising gastroenterology trainees and endoscopy staff, and contributing to departmental teaching programmes. The role includes active participation in clinical governance, audit, quality improvement, appraisal, and revalidation, with an expectation of professional leadership, innovation, and commitment to delivering excellent patient-centred care in line with the values of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. This post will also support Outpatient transformation and Gastroenterology and Endoscopy recovery and help the department to achieve the referral to treatment (RTT) 18-week targets, 2-week wait, and 28, 31 and 62 day faster diagnostic standards reducing diagnostic and cancer waiting times. ### Main duties of the job The primary focus of the role is the delivery and further development of Bowel Cancer Screening Programme within the Trust. The successful candidate should have both subspecialty interest in BCSP and management of complex polyps (EMR). They will contribute to audit and service improvement plans in line with JAG and BCSP. In addition to advanced endoscopy, the postholder will contribute to general gastroenterology services, including inpatient care, outpatient clinics, and participation in the gastroenterology on-call rota.
