University Hospital’s Bristol and Weston is already established as a leader in the local and regional provision of endoscopy services. The department benefits from close working relationships with hepatology, gastroenterology, specialist radiology, the in-house regional hepatobiliary service as well as other surgical disciplines. This post allows the successful candidate to develop their skills in advanced HPB endoscopy including ERCP, cholangioscopy, EUS and interventional/therapeutic EUS with scheduled training lists, but also access to regional multidisciplinary team meetings, involvement in triage and prioritisation and audit/research. There is flexibility to adapt the timetable to the needs of the successful applicant but it is anticipated that training will be pursued in both ERCP and EUS. Although there is no regular service provision aspect to this role, the post is funded by a need to support the development of the service, particularly in endoscopic ultrasound. Occasional cover of endoscopy service provision lists may also be required.

The successful applicant will be heavily involved in audit and research, with an expectation that with support this will lead to submissions to academic journals and UK/international conferences. The post holder will play a leading role in morbidity and mortality meetings and will be expected to attend multidisciplinary team meetings.
