Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

Newham in Plaistow is a busy district hospital and part of Barts Health NHS Trust, which is the largest trust in the NHS. It was created on 1 April 2012 by bringing together three trusts: Barts and The London NHS Trust, Newham University Hospital NHS Trust and Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust. The London Borough of Newham serves a population of over 348,000. It has one of the youngest and most ethnically diverse populations in the country.

Although the hospital is relatively small, it has a high turnover of patients and there is a lot of pathology. This offers excellent experience of a wide range of acute and chronic conditions with varying degrees of complexity. We are very interactive & supportive and like to teach. We have an excellent reputation for offering high standards of training for all grades of junior doctor in practical procedures and outpatient clinics. There is teaching on a weekly basis in the form of journal clubs and medical grand rounds in addition to upper GI cancer and hepatobiliary/viral hepatitis/IBD MDT meetings, which the junior doctors can attend. A lot of our juniors have gone on to become Specialist Registrars in Gastroenterology and our aim is to help the doctor achieve whatever goals they wish to attain.
