They will contribute to the acute gastroenterology on call service (currently 1:18), week day daytime cover at City Hospital (3 weeks per annum) and will contribute to inpatient care of luminal gastroenterology patients at QMC for 12 weeks a year in 2 week blocks. At least 2 PAs will be dedicated to supporting professional activities in the initial job plan and job plans are open to discussion and amendment to suit the needs of consultants and the department.
