Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will join a team of 11 WTE gastroenterologists fully supported by specialist nurses and advanced diagnostic services. We have an established IBD and nutrition team consisting of specialist nurses, dietitians, pharmacists and administrative support. We are looking for an enthusiastic gastroenterologist to both provide continuity, but also develop these services in a co-lead role. Outpatient gastroenterology is a major focus in the recent NHSE plans for reforming elective care and we want our service to reflect a modern, patient focussed approach.
