Clinical Fellow (Registrar) in Gastroenterology

NHS Medical & Dental: Specialty Registrar

Our award winning trusts recognise that our colleagues are our most valuable resource, we are proud of the excellent levels of service our Trust provides to our service users and the dedication and conscientiousness of our colleagues. With over 10,000 colleagues working for our trusts in a very wide range of services, we aim to provide a supportive, inclusive environment in which our colleagues can thrive.

 

Job overview

The Gastroenterology Department is looking for ambitious middle grade Doctors who are aiming to obtain entry onto the GMC specialist register via the portfolio pathway. 

 

This post is for 4 years and provides excellent training in gastroenterology, general medicine and endoscopy equivalent to that provided on the HEE training scheme without the need to relocate each year.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for a middle grade level doctor (post IMT3 equivalence). The successful candidate will have a bespoke job timetable according to their experience and training needs. This department developed training programme will run for a period of 4 years.

This will include:

  • Support to the inpatient gastroenterology service (including reviewing referrals of inpatients from other teams)
  • Regular outpatient clinics
  • Endoscopy training in the relevant modality, if upper GI endoscopy is the main training requirement this will be offered in a high intensity manner with the aim of achieving independent practice (over 250 procedures) in the first 6 months of the post. This will then allow delivery of service lists during the remainder of the post.
  • Commitment to the GIM on call rota (as medical registrar) – this can be negotiated according to training needs of the successful postholder and the other registrars. Over the 4 years this will be sufficient to ensure the requirements for GIM specialist registration can be applied for in conjunction with gastroenterology.

Working for our organisation

As an organisation, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust offers employees a wide range of benefits including flexible working, NHS pension scheme, generous annual leave allowance and a commitment to career  development.

You will be eligible for our Blue Light Card and a wide range of NHS exclusive shopping & leisure discounts.

We are proud of our skilled, diverse workforce and as an inclusive employer we welcome applications from all backgrounds.

Working in Somerset enables you to enjoy the idyllic countryside, areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines whilst still only being a stone’s throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.

There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable.

Somerset offers the countryside and the cosmopolitan – there is truly something for everyone!
