## Job Content

### Job overview

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is looking to recruit a Consultant General & Upper GI Surgeon.

This is a permanent full time post (10 post).

Please note interview will be conducted face to face and no option of virtual interview.

### Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will be expected to take up a post as a Consultant General & Upper GI Surgeon with a specialist interest in Bariatric and Benign UGI Surgery. This would include metabolic and weight loss surgery, management of complex hiatal conditions, and benign biliary surgery. Proficiency in advanced laparoscopic operating is essential. The UGI unit has access to Robotic surgery and the post holder could develop a robotic surgical practice.

As part of the department the post holder would be expected to provide assessment to outpatients with a wide variety of conditions and would be expected to partake in the triage and investigation of fast track referrals. The post holder would be expected to be Joint Advisory Group on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (JAG) Accredited in Upper GI endoscopy.

The Gastrointestinal (GI) surgeons run the general surgical on call service (colorectal and upper gastrointestinal) which is currently a 1 in 14 rota. During periods on call the post holder will be freed up from all elective activity in order to run the surgical assessment unit and to triage and treat all acute surgical referrals. The post holder will also partake in a 1 in 14 rota to provide CEPOD acute operating lists and weekday hot clinics. Familiarity with the management of general surgical pathology, both upper and lower GI, would therefore be essential.
