Appointees will have the opportunity to be involved in luminal and/or hepatobiliary and pancreatic radiology as well as a large local colorectal MDT, inflammatory bowel disease and hepatology meetings. Depending on candidates’ preferences, there will be opportunities to be involved in a range of abdominal interventional procedures relevant to their interests, including drains/biopsies, biliary work, liver ablation, gastrostomy and colonic stenting. Additional responsibilities may include participation in and supervision of fluoroscopy lists. Depending on the successful candidate’s expertise and preferences, participation in either the departmental general weekend on‑call rota or a GI‑focused basic interventional weekend service may be chosen. Academic and research interests will also be encouraged.
Up to 2 posts will be funded as full‑time positions (10 PAs including on‑call commitment). There is well‑equipped provision for remote working which can be incorporated into the job plan.

Consultants are also expected to work with service managers and clinical colleagues to manage their caseload in a flexible way, to ensure both clinical, national and local priorities, such as maximum waiting times for referral to treatment, are achieved.
