Main duties of the job
The clinical duties will be a mixture of outpatient clinics and endoscopy lists per week. The Royal Hallamshire and Northern General Consultants will supervise this clinical service. Some sessions may be flexibly worked depending on space limitations in the outpatient and endoscopy departments. Some flexibility will be required, in that the Fellows (and their supervisors) will sometimes be approached about backfilling vacant lists at other times of the week. There is no regular ward-based work. However, there may also be sessions of work involving ward cover and undertaking ward rounds depending on service demands. There is no routine Acute General Medicine on-call commitment. However the Fellows may be approached about filling vacant slots in the emergency on call medical SpR /StR rota, for which extra payment at the appropriate rates will be made.
