NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant
Job overview
The Colorectal Service is seeking to appoint a replacement Consultant Surgeon with a subspecialty interest to complement the department (early rectal cancer; advanced pelvic malignancy; colorectal cancer; inflammatory bowel disease; pelvic floor surgery).
Main duties of the job
You will join a general surgical department which includes Colorectal, Upper-GI, Breast and Vascular Services. The Colorectal Surgical Team has nine Consultants (eight whole-time equivalents). There is a tradition of close working between the departments of gastroenterology and colorectal surgery. The successful applicant will provide colorectal and general surgical services in theatre, outpatient and ward settings.
Minimally invasive surgery is well established within the colorectal team including transanal microsurgery (TEM) and robotic-assisted colorectal surgery.
There are separate specialty rotas for seven-day services, and the successful candidate will contribute to both the general surgery emergency rota (1 in 12) and the colorectal weekend and Bank Holiday rotas.
