Description

This is an exciting post for 12 months aimed at a Gastroenterology trainee wishing to garner further specialist experience in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) delivery in a large teaching hospital Gastrointestinal (GI) unit.

The post also comes with the opportunity to do some clinical research (hopefully leading to abstract and paper publication and experience in clinical trials), with time set aside within the job plan to enable this to occur.

The new Royal Liverpool Hospital is home to a IBD Team which historically is known as a centre of excellence for IBD both nationally and internationally.

Serving over 4000 patients with IBD from across Merseyside, Cheshire and the Wirral (as well as North Wales, Isle of Man and other parts of the UK) the IBD is extremely busy, and offers a wide range of specialist services for patients with IBD - from transitional care through to obstetric IBD clinics.

The successful applicant will spend 12 months within the IBD Team exclusively at the Royal Liverpool Hospital site. The work will focus on service development and delivery with IBD patients.

There will be an opportunity to undertake clinic work in aspects of the service to meet the needs of the department and the learning needs of the successful applicant.

General IBD clinics

This is an essential part of IBD service as the main IBD clinics run on a Tuesday and Friday and occur either virtually (telephone) or face to face.

A successful applicant will be expected to work in both clinics and see unselected patients and discuss and escalate any concerns to the IBD consultant and/or nurses within the Team.

Clinics are extremely busy typically but patients from these clinics can be discussed in IBD MDT on a Friday, Radiology (APEX) MDT on a Monday or Histology MDT (once a month) on a Monday afternoon.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
