This vacancy consists of 10 programmed activities, of which 7 provide direct clinical care, including 3 training operating theatre lists and 1 glaucoma YAG/SLT laser list on Ellex Tango. The successful candidate will be predominantly based at the Colchester Hospital with potential delivery of peripheral clinics at Ipswich and Clacton District Hospitals. There is a dedicated session allocated to simulation activities, organising courses, including a home-grown international MiGS conference, iGLEAMS, now in its 4th year, and support training on model eyes and EyeSi virtual reality simulation for cataract and glaucoma surgery within the ICENI Surgical Simulation Centre.
East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT) provides hospital and community health care . We serve a wide geographical area with a population approaching 800,000 residents. We deliver care services from two main hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, six community hospitals, high street clinics and in patients’ own homes.

We are building for better care with an exciting capital development programme across our sites – totalling £100million over the next five years.
We are building a new elective orthopaedic centre for ESNEFT at Colchester Hospital. It will be one of the biggest centres in the country and will ensure we can retain complex and low volume cases locally for the people we serve.
We are also now building a £7million specialist interventional radiology and cardiac angiography unit at Colchester.
At Ipswich we are investing £35million in a new Emergency Department and co-located Urgent Treatment Centre, with additional diagnostic imaging kit (MRI and CT). There’s a £5.3million molecular diagnostic laboratory soon to open at Ipswich, and works begins soon for a new Breast Care Centre and a Children’s Unit.
