Senior Colorectal Fellow - London, United Kingdom - North Middlesex University Hospital

Description

Job overview

Applications are invited for the post of Senior Colorectal Fellow for 12 months based in the North Middlesex University Hospital. This post has been approved by the Royal College of Surgeons and the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain & Ireland as part of the RCS Senior Clinical Fellowship Scheme.

North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust is a medium sized District General Hospital based in Edmonton in Enfield, North London. We serve a diverse multicultural population largely from the London boroughs of Enfield and Haringey but also draw patients from Waltham Forest and Barnet. Many of our patients live in wards that are within the 5% most deprived in the UK and a large proportion of our patients were born abroad. This makes it both a fascinating and a challenging hospital to work in.

Main duties of the job

Over the last decade we have rebuilt almost all of the hospital and now have facilities that we are proud to work in. We employ just over 3,000 staff, more than half of whom live locally. We encourage apprenticeships from the local community and work closely with our local Health Watch.

The hospital provides a full range of elective and non-elective secondary care services, though it is highly emergency driven with a very busy A&E department. The Trust also has specialist haematological, HIV, sickle cell, chemotherapy and radiotherapy services. All are supported by a full range of investigative services including an imaging department that boasts 3-Tesla MRI and 64-slice CT scanners.

Applications are welcomed for a Senior Colorectal Fellow ST7+ (peri or post CCT). This is a fixed term post to start in October 2024.

Working for our organisation

North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICS's, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone, statutory bodies we have an ICS infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.

We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George's University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
