Advanced Endoscopy Fellow

There are three posts available for whole‑time non‑resident Advance Endoscopy Fellow to work as a 'middle-grade' SpR‑equivalent at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. These posts are designed to provide the candidate(s) with additional experience in Luminal Endoscopy and advanced therapeutic endoscopy/EUS/ERCP either in upper or lower GI, at a peri or post CCT level. The posts are a six‑month contract in the first instance with the option by mutual agreement to extend this by a further 6 months.

The endoscopy department provides an extensive range of both diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and will provide an excellent opportunity for the candidate(s) to develop a specialist interest in therapeutic endoscopy.

UHL is also involved in the national bowel cancer screening programme and delivers a large programme of JAG courses. The candidate should have completed basic medical training, passed their MRCP examination, hold a valid JAG certificate, and be independent in diagnostic upper & lower GI endoscopy. Preference will be given to candidates whose Curriculum Vitae shows good career progression.

• 1 outpatient clinic
• 1 admin session

• 1 MDT session – triage/review of EUS referrals, participation in HPB/luminal MDTs
• Outpatient clinics and inpatient reviews; peri‑procedural care and consent

• Work flexibly across 7 hospital sites – primarily the three acute sites in Leicester

We have four primary goals:

• High‑quality care for all
