Job overview

Barking Havering Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is looking for a Consultant Endoscopist to join the Digestive Diseases Centre (DDC) within the Surgery, Anaesthesia & Critical Care Clinical Care Group. The DDC has the ambition of developing a Centre of Excellence in North East London and was created after the amalgamation of Gastroenterology, Endoscopy, Upper GI & Colorectal Surgery.

Applications are invited for the position of a Consultant Endoscopist. This is a 10.PA post including GI bleed on call cover and Gastroenterology ward cover at weekends and over some weekdays. This is a new post created in response to growing local demand for endoscopy services with special reference to Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy & Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. It would be ideal if the Consultant Endoscopist has credentials to participate in BCSP as we have been selected as an Early Adopter for reduction of the FIT threshold in the Bowel cancer Screening Programme within England. In addition, the new consultant will be expected to contribute to the small bowel service by supporting the capsule endoscopy service and also developing small bowel enteroscopy services. 听A commitment and interest in endoscopy teaching is essential since the Trust is a training centre for GI and surgical trainees and runs JAG-endorsed and other endoscopy training courses.听

Main duties of the job

Consultant Endoscopist

The Endoscopy Service is hosted within the Division of Surgery, but is delivered by clinicians in Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Upper & Lower GI Surgeons and 3 Clinical Endoscopists. The post will provide flexible cover for the endoscopy service in Queen鈥檚 Hospital and King George Hospital.

BHRUT being one of the busiest NHS trusts in Greater London performs over 18,000 GI endoscopy procedures per year in JAG accredited units and aims to develop to attract tertiary referrals for complex polyps with the aid of complex EMR, ESD and hybrid procedures. We are already the referral centre for TEMS procedures for NE London. The Trust has a busy capsule endoscopy service that offers small bowel, colon and pan-intestinal capsule endoscopy and is currently participating in the National Colon Capsule Pilot.

This is an opportunity to join a busy, dynamic multidisciplinary team to help us improve the service that we provide to our population with a view to developing JAG training courses at our Trust which the successful applicant can contribute to.

Working for our organisation

We鈥檙e an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we鈥檙e no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we鈥檙e proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff 鈥 who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we鈥檙e proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen鈥檚 Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London 鈥 more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George鈥檚 Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We鈥檙e looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It鈥檒l make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
