Main duties of the job

In GI Physiology we are looking to employ a GI Clinical Physiologist in this busy physiology department.

You will be able to undertake anorectal physiology investigations and lower GI biofeedback in the first instance. You will have the ability to analyse and report your findings with a technical and clinical report. If training is required this will be via the Accredited Scientist Pathway (ASP) training programme in conjunction with the National School of Healthcare Science and Newcastle University. The training will include work based training, an online portfolio, academic modules with Newcastle University and an end point assessment. We also undertake a range of other investigations and treatments, such as TAI and capsule enteroscopy. Although these are not essential to the role in the first instance there is scope to expand your knowledge and skills. Ideally you will be an AGIP accredited practitioner and / or AHCS registered though this is not essential as these can be worked towards.

Please contact Elisa Skinner on 0161 206 4533 for an informal discussion or to visit the department.
