The appointee should have a special interest in Gastroenterology and will be joining a department, which has increased its staffing of full-time consultants with further expansion planned, and is looking to sub-specialise; as such the development of a sub-speciality interest such as advanced endoscopy skills and/or an interest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease or hepatology is desirable.
