Senior clinical fellow in Hepatopancreatobiliary Medicine

at  Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

One advanced Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) full-time fully-funded Fellowship is available at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This is designed to complement the existing hepatology and gastroenterology service and offer advanced training in HPB medicine and intervention. This post, available rom March 2023, will involve 12 months as an advanced HPB Fellow (includes 2 ERCP lists, 1-2 EUS lists,
hepatology clinic, hepatobiliary cancer MDT, benign hepatology MDT, liver histology, and review of inpatient referrals). As with all our SCF posts, the principle is that there is a combination of clinical and academic sessions each week, the academic sessions being allocated to support clinical trials, a personal project, teaching and administration. As with all 6 Senior Clinical Fellows in Oxford, the endoscopy session is flexible and may need to be worked on a Saturday. The John Radcliffe provides an integrated service with Horton General Hospital.
Clinical activity will be under the supervision of Dr Emma Culver (Fellowship Programme Director) and Dr Dr Noor Bekkali, or nominated Consultant colleague. The ERCP service is provided by Dr Braden, Dr Bekkali, and Dr Bailey, and EUS by Dr Braden, Dr Bekkali, and Dr Phillips-Hughes. Hepatobiliary intervention is one of the growing strengths of the department. The hepatobilary medical service is integrated with the
hepatobiliary surgical team (Mr Silva and Mr Soonawalla), and with expert diagnostic and interventional radiology (Dr Bungay, Dr Phillips-Hughes).
The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to the Gastroenterology out-of-hours cover rota, and to weekday emergency endoscopy and ward referral weeks at ≤1:12 frequency. The latter provides an opportunity to enhance endoscopic management of upper GI bleeds and other urgent endoscopic interventions.

One of the significant strengths of our department are the multiple opportunities to attend clinical and
research meetings throughout the week. Clinical meetings include liver histopathology, and clinical multidisciplinary meetings including the hepatobiliary cancer MDT, and hepatology and hepatobiliary
2 benign radiology meeting. Uniquely our department also has a weekly academic afternoon with a range of clinical and research focussed learning opportunities. There is also a weekly journal club, which once a month
makes way for an IgG4 Systemic Disease Regional MDT. The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to departmental research through the management of hepatology clinical trials and other
projects or audit, under appropriate guidance. It would suit someone wishing to develop specialist expertise beyond that acquired through general hepatology and gastroenterology training before a Consultant post
