The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

The Trust comprises of four hospitals – the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington, and Horton Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

Many of our recruitment programmes use values‑based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significant difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

Up to one advanced inflammatory bowel disease full‑time fully‑funded Fellowship is available at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It is designed to complement the existing gastroenterology service and offer advanced training in IBD. The post, available from March 2024, will involve 12 months as an advanced IBD Fellow (2 IBD clinics per week, plus IBD MDT, luminal X‑ray meeting, IBD endoscopy, plus coeliac clinic for 6 months).

The IBD SCF will spend 6 months fulfilling the IBD SCF role, and 6 months as IBD + coeliac SCF role. The principle is 6 clinical and 4 academic sessions per week, the academic sessions being allocated one each to clinical trials, a personal project, teaching and administration. As with all 6 Senior Clinical Fellows in Oxford, one of the endoscopy sessions is flexible and may need to be worked on a Saturday.

Clinical activity will be under the supervision of Dr Emma Culver (Fellowship Programme Director), and Dr Oliver Brain (IBD Lead), or a nominated Consultant colleague. Inflammatory bowel disease is one of the particular strengths of the department, with a combination of clinical and basic science expertise whose integration is a singular feature of our translational unit. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease or intestinal failure are jointly managed between medical and surgical teams.

The medical service consists of Prof Travis, Prof Satsangi, Dr Brain, Dr Walsh, Dr Palmer, and Dr Ambrose. The consultants are clinically supported by four IBD nurse specialists, one biologics nurse, Gastroenterology Dietitians, and two Gastroenterology Pharmacists (one a Consultant Pharmacist). There is close liaison with the Intestinal Failure team, and Paediatric Gastroenterology, especially for adolescent IBD.

The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to the Gastroenterology out‑of‑hours cover rota, and to weekday emergency endoscopy and ward referral weeks at ≤1:12 frequency. This provides an opportunity to enhance endoscopic management of upper GI bleed and provide supported consultations for inpatients.
