Our thriving and dynamic Gastroenterology department is based at Salford, Oldham, Fairfield and Rochdale, and is part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA). This is a unique and exciting time to join an NHS service that is focused on delivering the best healthcare services to our local population, demonstrated by recent investment in an award-winning Community Diagnostic Centre in Oldham (CDC), away from the acute site.
This post is explicitly aligned with our world-class, NIHR award-winning clinical research structure. It is designed for an ambitious specialist looking to advance clinical trials, academic papers, and advanced pathways in Inflammatory Bowel Disease under the direct support of Professor Jimmy Limdi.
The post holder will complement and develop existing services through the provision of specialist knowledge & expertise in Gastroenterology and General Internal Medicine. The post holder is therefore required to have full registration with the General Medical Council & a valid licence to practice and be on the specialist register (Gastroenterology and preferably also General Internal Medicine) or be within 6 months of CCT or equivalent at the time of interview.
Team members have the opportunity to influence the development of services. The post holder will provide demonstrable expertise in Gastroenterology with a special interest in IBD, and ideally also General Internal Medicine, in order to deliver a high-quality independent service.
The appointment to this post has these main aims:
- To join a team that provides comprehensive consultant-based patient-centred management of gastroenterology.
- To contribute to the continuing development of the department throughout a period of significant change for the directorate.
You will be expected to share responsibility for the delivery of high-quality care to the patients presenting to the Department. To carry out hot week and in-reach services to ensure that all our patients have a timely senior review and management plan. To participate in an out of hours GI bleed rota and 7-day ward reviews.
Participate in a rota which triages urgent and routine referrals to maximise outpatient capacity. Participate in a rota to review the results of investigations for patients on the suspected upper GI cancer pathway, and to decide and arrange next steps, and where appropriate step down off the suspected cancer pathway.
You will participate in daytime hot week rotas 1:10 (will be increasing to 1:12) covering all gastroenterology patients on the Royal Oldham Site, and gastroenterology in-reach at the Fairfield General Hospital.
