Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy Fellowship

If you are looking to enhance your endoscopic skills to reach the next level of advanced endoscopy practice, we have an exciting opportunity for you. We are looking to appoint an Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy Fellow to work jointly between Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead and Darlington Memorial Hospital, County Durham for 12 months, to train in Advanced Luminal Upper and Lower GI Endoscopy.

The post also offers an opportunity to carry out endoscopic research, present at national and international conferences and publish in reputed journals. A post CCT level Trust Doctor post is available based at both the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead and County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT) starting September 2026 for 12 months within the Gastroenterology Departments at QE and CDDFT.

The post would be ideally suitable for a GI Specialist Registrar who has completed registrar specialty training and has a specialist interest in therapeutic endoscopy.

Professor Anjan Dhar (Consultant Luminal Gastroenterologist & Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopist at CDDFT) and Dr Jamie Barbour (Therapeutic Endoscopist and Endoscopy training lead for QE Gateshead) will supervise the trainee.

Based in the North East of England we provide a range of hospital and community health services from our leading facilities, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Blaydon urgent care centre and Bensham Hospital, all within Gateshead.

Established in 2005, we were one of the first foundation trusts in the country and since then have consistently achieved the highest levels of care for patients.

We now employ around 4,800 staff and currently provide 444 hospital beds across the Gateshead region.
