Summary
The weekly colorectal and anal cancer MDTs (including surgeons, radiologists, medical and clinical oncologists, pathologists and specialist nurses) allow ample training in the management of colorectal and anal cancer across the whole spectrum of disease. There is a weekly inflammatory bowel disease MDT with Gastroenterology. A weekly radiology meeting supported by specialist GI radiologists provides training in the interpretation of GI imaging. There is a monthly pelvic floor MDT. The colorectal unit is supported by 24-hour diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, interventional GI and vascular radiology, and a 24 hour emergency theatre. General surgery and specialist clinics (colorectal cancer, anal cancer, functional bowel, IBD joint with Gastroenterology) occur regularly. We are supported by a well-established team of clinical nurse specialists, stoma therapists and functional physiotherapists/nurse specialists. The consultants all work a rotating timetable that is instrumental to the strong team ethos. The team is on-call on alternate working days and alternate weekends with a consultant of the week responsible for the management and ward rounds for the firm every day including weekends. In addition the unit provides ample opportunity for trainees/fellows to be involved in clinical research and/or audit during their placement. Non-clinical Training and Responsibilities Fellows will be expected to work within the current team structure and will provide clinical support to junior medical staff. The unit has a flexible team based approach to patient care that the fellow will be expected to adopt. It is expected that all fellows will keep to date with their mandatory training and attend the weekly firm planning meetings. Additional Training Opportunities The fellows will be expected to maintain CPD and there are both in-house and regional teaching provided to assist this. Opportunities for research and audit are also available.
