Job summary
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.
