Locum Consultant in Upper GI Surgery (+ subspecialty interest)

The successful candidate will have a subspecialty interest in Upper GI surgery, with experience in at least one of the following areas: Upper GI including hot biliary, complex benign upper GI surgery, or bariatric surgery. The post holder will work collaboratively within a highly supportive multidisciplinary team, maintaining and strengthening existing working relationships across surgical, medical, nursing, and allied health colleagues.

In addition, he/she will be included in the General Surgery on-call nights/weekends rota. This will still provide ample opportunity for elective work in accordance with the post-holders' subspecialty interest - with specific time allocated for ongoing personal development in their chosen field. In particular, support will be given to areas of innovation in improving the quality of patient care, with focus on reduced length of stay and increased ambulatory care.
