Job description

Training Fellowship – Advanced Endoscopy

This post is for a training fellowship of up to one year in advanced endoscopy, suitable for individuals in the latter stages of their Specialist Registrar training in Gastroenterology. The applicant will join a large academic department of Gastroenterology based at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and the University of Aberdeen. There are specialist clinics for IBD and all aspects of liver disease.

Responsibilities and Commitments

Service commitment would be expected in the form of 4‑5 endoscopy lists per week; there is no ward or on‑call commitment. The endoscopy service currently provides a 7‑day service, and the successful candidate may be required to undertake some of the service lists on the weekend. An endoscopy‑related clinic could be incorporated into the job plan.

Advanced endoscopy training for 3 lists per week will be matched to the needs of the applicant. Time will be available in the job plan for attendance at MDT meetings and clinical administration. Participation in research or audit projects is also expected, under the supervision of one of the consultants. Teaching within the endoscopy service is anticipated.

Training Opportunities

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be trained in ERCP, including SpyGlass and biliary manometry, and in Endoscopic Ultrasound, including pseudocyst drainage. At least a year of training in grade I ERCP is required. Previous experience in endoscopic ultrasound would be advantageous but is not a prerequisite.

Supervision

Overall supervision will be provided by the Clinical Lead for Endoscopy.
