We are a thriving and expanding department with increasing outpatients and endoscopy referrals. We aim to provide a first-class gastroenterology service in North London and to meet the challenge of government targets. We conduct regular audits to ensure our department provides a high-quality service.

We are a four room unit was opened in the Day Treatment Centre in 2007. At present, there are 40 lists running per week with dedicated upper GI and colonoscopy lists. We have had recent approval to utilise the fourth endoscopy room to accommodate the expanding demand for endoscopy and by working closely with neighbouring organisations. We are also a JAG accredited Site.

The Department is a core service within the Medical Division, treating approximately 4000 new outpatients per year, some 500 specialist inpatients and performs over 8500 endoscopies per year.

The appointee is responsible to the Chief Executive and Medical Director for the satisfactory conduct of his/her professional duties. All doctors are expected to be familiar with the GMC’s “Good Medical Practice” and to always work within its guidance.

The appointee will be an enthusiastic doctor, fully accredited in general medicine and Gastroenterology. We are looking to appoint a locum consultant colleague who will complement the existing skills/interests of the department. A commitment to providing the best possible care to gastroenterology patients, and to working with colleagues to develop improved systems for their management is essential. Furthermore, expertise and experience in teaching and re-engineering of outpatient clinics would also be an advantage. A proven ability to work effectively with existing colleagues and management is of the utmost importance. ERCP skills are not required for this post. We expect the new appointee to be fully involved in the teaching commitment, audit activities and management aspects of the department.

The timetable will be made up of 10 programmed activities. There is no General Internal Medicine (GIM) on call or acute medicine commitment. There will be a rotating month as the consultant for the ward when three times weekly ward rounds will be performed and other DCC cancelled accordingly. A sample timetable for a non-ward month is attached.

Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
