Description
Applications are invited for a full-time Consultant in the Gastroenterology department.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the existing two intestinal failure consultants and to contribute to our growing clinical nutrition and intestinal failure service. As the largest teaching hospital in the North of East Anglia, we are commissioned as an ‘HPN centre’ and look after approximately 85 Home parenteral Nutrition Patients with Type 3 Intestinal Failure. We also provide an inpatient Type 1 intestinal failure service. The surgical Intestinal failure service is commissioned to Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. Additionally, we are the only hospital in the North of east Anglia to provide a comprehensive Radiologically inserted gastrostomy service and there are in excess of 500 patients with gastrostomy feeding tubes in our locality. NNUH is also a tertiary centre for Motor-Neurone Disease and our team provides nursing and medical support to this service when required. We are looking to recruit a 3rd consultant to support our growing service.
In addition, the post holder will also contribute to outpatient and endoscopy service and will also take part in gastroenterology inpatient care on a rotational basis.

The current rota is 1:16
The candidate will be expected to take an active role in the delivery of the clinical gastroenterology service including inpatient ward work, outpatients clinics, endoscopy sessions and emergency out of hours gastroenterology and endoscopy cover (on call rota). The Trust has an Acute Medical Unit run by consultant acute physicians and a specialty triage system. During the week patients admitted to the hospital and triaged to gastroenterology are reviewed by one of 3 firms of which these post holders will join one of (the IBD/luminal team)
Clinic templates are flexible, but it would be expected that the appointee sees 4 new patients and 8 follow up patients in each clinic. Ward referral numbers are also variable and are usually seen by SpRs initially with consultant review subsequently.
