Summary
This is an exciting opportunity to join a talented team of 37 consultant gastroenterologists and hepatologists. This post is to support the development of luminal gastroenterology services for Manchester.
Our department delivers comprehensive gastrointestinal services at Manchester Royal Infirmary, Wythenshawe Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital, along with outpatient services at Trafford and Withington Community Hospital.
You will be joining one of the largest gastroenterology and endoscopy services in England with, for example, the largest IBD biological service in the country. We provide tertiary services to 3.5 million people.
We are keen to see applications from colleagues with interests in any aspect of luminal gastroenterology, but we have identified specific needs for further development in IBD, nutrition and upper GI gastroenterology.
The post-holder will assume a continuing responsibility for the care of patients in his/her charge and the proper functioning of his/her department. The post-holder will have full secretarial support and a dedicated office space with IT facilities.
The post-holder must take reasonable care of his/her own health and safety and any other personnel who may be affected by his/her omission. Trust policies and regulations must be followed at all times.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
