Description

The principal responsibilities of the Senior Clinical Fellow will be the day to day management of the Colorectal surgical inpatients and participation in the Colorectal Surgery operating lists, Endoscopy lists and out-patient clinics as well as the MDMs.

The Department of Colorectal Surgery at King's deals with the diagnosis and management of all benign and malignant colonic and anorectal conditions as part of a multi-disciplinary team involving Gastroenterologists, Radiologists, Oncologists, Pathologists, Palliative Care, Urogynaecologists and Urologists.

The Senior Clinical Fellow will be an important link in the close collaboration of the MDM and will be expected to undertake initiatives to improve patient management and pathways of care similar to those expected by consultants.

King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK's largest and busiest teaching Trusts with a turnover of £1 billion, 1.5 million patient contacts a year and more than 15,000 staff based across South East London.

The Trust provides a full range of local and specialist services across its five sites.

The trust-wide strategy of Strong Roots, Global Reach is our Vision to be BOLD, Brilliant people, Outstanding care, Leaders in Research, Innovation and Education, Diversity, Equality and Inclusion at the heart of everything we do.

By being person-centred, digitally-enabled, and focused on sustainability, we aim to take Team King's to another level.

We are at a pivotal point in our history and we require individuals who are ready to join a highly professional team and make a real, lasting difference to our patients and our people.

King's is committed to delivering Sustainable Healthcare for All via our Green Plan.

In line with national Greener NHS ambitions, we have set net zero carbon targets of 2040 for our NHS Carbon Footprint and 2045 for our NHS Carbon Footprint Plus.

Everyone's contribution is required in order to meet the goals set out in our Green Plan and we encourage all staff to work responsibly, minimising their contributions to the Trust's carbon emissions, waste and pollution wherever possible.

The SCF will attend the daily general surgical hand-over meeting from 7:30am to 8:00 am.

The SCF will share with the SpRs the responsibility to lead a full daily ward round along with the rest of the team team.

The SCF will be responsible for the day to day management decisions of all patients.

The complexity of these patients often requires experience, knowledge, ability for clinical decision making and ability to liaise with all members of the MDM for coordination of care.

The SCF will be responsible to operate either with or without supervision on appropriately allocated patients on an elective or emergency basis.

The SCF will be expected to cooperate with, instruct, teach and supervise other doctors of the Firm at SpR, JCF, SHO, F1/F2 level in their clinical work and audit activity of the unit.

The department is proactively involved with student teaching and regular student teaching is mandatory for the SCF. Post graduate teaching is required, particularly at the basic surgical Skills Course as well as other post graduate courses.

The post-holder is expected to bring along a genuine interest in Colorectal Surgery, its clinical practice, the diagnosis and therapy of rare and complex disease, and surgical practice including laparoscopy and day surgery for Colorectal disease.

The post holder is expected to take initiative in clinical or basic research in Colorectal Surgery in close cooperation with the Consultants and is encouraged to publish peer reviewed scientific articles.

Appropriate enthusiasm will be fostered and properly supported.
