Join to apply for the Consultant in Gastroenterology role at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust

Applications are invited from enthusiastic, motivated and committed individuals to join our friendly and dynamic team within the Gastroenterology department, primarily based at Ipswich Hospital.

The General Surgery and Gastroenterology Clinical Delivery Group (CDG) has speciality level clinical leadership, one Clinical Lead per specialty at each site.

The Department of Gastroenterology works as a sub-department within the Surgery and Anaesthetics Division which incorporates upper gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery as well as other surgical specialties.

The gastroenterology consultants work within a multi-disciplinary team, with access to modern endoscopy facilities and equipment. The aim of the department is to maintain an efficient and friendly service for our local population. The department promotes and develops gastroenterology services in light of rapidly evolving and changing technology.

The post will consist of 10 Programmed Activities which includes 2 SPAs. Any additional PAs that may be required will be discussed, agreed and job planned with the successful appointee.

Each gastroenterologist spends 5 weeks looking after all the medical gastroenterology patients on a designated GI ward. Two ward rounds are undertaken per week when on the wards (see proposed timetable below). The care of the ward in-patients is supported by two Gastro StRs, one CT1/2, one VTS and one FI doctor.

When off the wards, the ward round sessions may be utilised for extra service provision such as an extra clinic and/or an extra endoscopy list dependent on the service needs at that time. Currently most of the consultants in the department work above the 10PA contract, however if the successful appointee would like to work to a 10PA contract then the sessional commitments for the appointee when off the wards would be adjusted to reduce their clinical sessions during this period, maintaining an average of 10 PAs per week over a rolling rota period. There is no general medical on-call commitment in this post.

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes.

We are one of the largest NHS organisation in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
