Job overview
I am delighted you are interested in joining us as an Advanced Fellow (ST6-8) / post CCST in Gastroenterology at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was commissioned as one of the Regional Endoscopy Training Centres (Director Dr John Anderson, Deputy Director Dr Paul Dunckley). Regular training courses are held on both hospital sites and details can be found at the website JETS - Gloucestershire Endoscopy Training Centre Home. The training faculty is supported by the local consultants who are encouraged to develop their teaching and training skills.
Main duties of the job

The post also provides the opportunity for the development of other areas of interest in Gastroenterology such as specialist IBD clinics, specialist hepatology clinics, capsule endoscopy and endoscopy research.
This is a second endoscopy fellow position and the structure of the post is based on the successful existing fellow post. The post consists of 50% service endoscopy and 50% training and development in advanced endoscopy and others aspects of gastroenterology that will be tailored to the successful candidate.
