Consultant in Gastroenterology WSI ERCP & EUS

The Gastroenterology Directorate is seeking to recruit a substantive Consultant Gastroenterologist with a specialist interest in Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) Endoscopy (ERCP and EUS) to join our dynamic, innovative and expanding team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in delivering and developing high-quality HPB endoscopic services and related patient care across the Trust. This is a substantive 10 PA job, but LTF will also be considered. On a 10 PA job plan, the successful candidate would be required to deliver a minimum of 2 out-patient clinics and 2 endoscopy lists per week.

The post holder will join an established team of Consultant Gastroenterologists and HPB Endoscopists, contributing to the provision of diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP and EUS services, while supporting the wider gastroenterology service.

Applicants must hold MRCP (UK) or equivalent and have completed higher specialist training in Gastroenterology or equivalent. Candidates must be on the GMC Specialist Register for Gastroenterology, or be within six months of obtaining CCT at the time of interview.
