This post would be ideal for a gastroenterologist in the middle or toward the end of their specialist training who wishes to develop a specialist interest in endoscopy. Post holders will be expected to be able to perform diagnostic flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and OGD independently and hold JAG accreditation.

The successful applicant would undertake the design and running of several research projects relating to endoscopy, under the supervision of the endoscopy consultants with a view to obtaining a higher degree over a 2-3 year period. Duties will include co-ordinating their own research activities, 3 endoscopy lists per week and at least one dedicated training endoscopy session. There is a 1:12 on-call commitment.

There may be some responsibility for both NHS & private in-patients who have been referred for endoscopic procedures. The post holder would be in a position to benefit from being exposed to a wide range of advanced endoscopic techniques that are performed at St Marks and the throughout the Trust.
