The Gastroenterology & Hepatology Unit (GEHU) at The Canberra Hospital is the tertiary referral hospital for the ACT and Southeastern NSW. It provides high level care for the full range of gastroenterology and hepatology disorders. The GEHU has special expertise in managing IBD, dealing with disorders of the liver and biliary system and in providing endoscopy services including complex therapeutic procedures.
The GEHU runs a full outpatient service. The successful applicant will be expected to undertake at least 2 clinics per week. Referrals are received from within the hospital, from local specialists as well as the primary care doctors in the region.
It is essential that advanced trainees undertake significant publishable research during their period of employment in the GEHU. There are opportunities for both clinical and laboratory-based research. Applicants are advised to familiarise themselves with the research interests of the Unit and to make specific enquiries regarding their proposed research. A developed research plan is likely to be highly regarded by the Appointments Committee. In addition to several ongoing areas of clinical and endoscopy research, the Unit has a well-developed laboratory-based research program in liver research (fatty liver, hepatocellular carcinoma, and ischaemia-reperfusion injury), inflammatory bowel disease (macrophage function) and gastrointestinal cancer.
This is a one-year position intended for an advanced trainee who has successfully completed their two core years and is looking for further training with special emphasis in either hepatology, IBD or endoscopy. The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to the Unit’s on-call roster, inpatient care and endoscopy service as well as playing a leading role in the scientific and quality assurance meetings.
Although main role will be in their chosen area of work, either hepatology, IBD or endoscopy, working with the relevant specialists, they will be expected to rotate trough the other sub-specialities. They will be expected to play a major part in the multi-disciplinary care of patients, particularly those that are acutely ill. It will be expected that the successful applicant will take up the position with a research plan already developed and that they will publish at least one paper in a peer reviewed journal during the year and present at a national or international conference.
Prior to commencement, the successful candidates will be required to:
