We are delighted to offer the opportunity for a Consultant Gastroenterologist with an interest in hepatology to join our friendly and caring Gastroenterology Team providing services to our region as part of our Endoscopy expansion at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary. This post is ideal for anyone wanting to practice Gastroenterology in a District General Hospital that is well led and has excellent links with Primary Care and the local community services.

***We are currently offering this fantastic opportunity inclusive of our £10K Recruitment & Retention scheme.*** The Trust serves a population of over 310,000 in rural surroundings on the western edge of Greater Manchester and the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary is just a few minutes' walk from the town centre in an ideal position for shopping and leisure activities. Haigh Country Park is directly opposite the Hospital, and the town is renowned for its football and rugby teams, so there's always plenty to do. We can help with relocation to what is an attractive and increasingly popular area of the UK. The borough is bordered by the M6, M61 and M62 motorways and is also served by the main west coast rail line, providing excellent access to the lively cities of Manchester and Liverpool, the Pennines, Lake District and North-West coastline. There are first-class sports and leisure facilities and a wide choice of quality housing in rural or urban settings meaning Wigan is a fantastic place to live and work.
