However, we expect the applicant to be experienced enough to make sound independent clinical judgements and to look after this complex group of patients on a day-to-day basis. The applicant will be expected to do ward rounds and clinics independently. They will also be asked to perform certain theatre lists independently, appropriate to and dependent upon their level of experience. SUB-SPECILATY TEAM The unit is currently divided into three teams and Fellows will be allocated according to their subspecialty interests and career aspirations. This would normally involved six months on two teams but Fellows may choose to focus more time on a single team or spend the year split between all three. ON-CALL RESPONSIBILITIES Fellows participate in the on-call rota at Senior Registrar level (non-resident, 24 hr on a 1:9 basis) supporting a Registrar, SHO and junior team who work 12 hour day/night shifts. This system allows flexibility, continuity of care and maximises elective training opportunities. TEACHING AND RESEARCH/STUDY AND TRAINING As a large teaching hospital there are multiple opportunities for teaching and training. There are leadership and service improvement roles that can be picked up by fellows. The unit remains at the forefront of international research into colorectal disease and is supported by world class pathology, gastroenterology and radiology deThe Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is committed to delivering the highest quality and safest treatment and care to every patient, every time.
