About the Department
The Department of Gastroenterology in East Kent Hospitals is expanding and seeking enthusiastic new colleagues to join our team. We provide a 7-day Consultant-led gastroenterology inpatient service at Ashford and Margate hospitals, a 24/7 GI Bleed rota, and specialize in Nutrition, IBD, Hepatology, HPB, UGI Cancer, complex polypectomy, ERCP, Bowel Cancer Screening, and capsule endoscopy. Our Endoscopy Services operate from Canterbury, Margate, and Ashford hospitals.
Role Overview
We are looking for two new consultants to be based at William Harvey Hospital, joining a team of 8 full-time consultants. The post holders will support the site-based GI Bleeding rota (1 in 8) and provide two OPD clinics and two general endoscopy lists per week during elective working weeks. They will also have a session dedicated to a specialist interest and/or leadership role. SPA (1-2 PA) will be allocated to support revalidation, service development, and supervision of trainees. Variations in this pattern may be negotiable based on individual and departmental service requirements.
