Consultant Gastroenterologists

Trosolwg o'r swydd

We are looking for enthusiastic doctors to lead the gastroenterology service at North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH). NMGH is the newest part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). Its gastroenterology services are being disaggregated from the Northern Care Alliance service that previously provided gastroenterology care to the hospital over the next six months.

The post-holders in NMGH will join an established team of 32 gastroenterologists in MFT who deliver inpatient care to three large acute hospitals (NMGH, Manchester Royal Infirmary and Wythenshawe Hospital) and outpatient care across Manchester and Trafford.

Preferred Clinical Sub-Specialties

This job is open to applicants with any sub-specialty interest in gastroenterology, however, the structure of the existing clinical gastroenterology team in MFT mean that applications from colleagues with sub-specialties in luminal gastroenterology (all aspects including, IBD, nutrition, neurogastroenterology and advanced luminal endoscopy) and hepatology will be favoured.

If a candidate prefers a job-plan that includes a component of acute medical care as well as specialist gastroenterology please contact us in advance to discuss the opportunities at MFT.

Advert

The exact duties of the appointees will be subject to discussion, but a proposed programme of weekly sessions is based on a working week of 10 PAs (units of Professional Activity) in accordance with the Terms and Conditions – Consultants (England) 2003. It is expected that PAs will be worked flexibly; flexibility in job planning is of particular importance for this roll because of the need to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
