Consultant in Emergency, General & Colorectal Surgery | Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust

Full-time


We are seeking to appoint a substantive Consultant Emergency and General Surgeon
(EGS) with a specialist interest in benign coloproctology and abdominal wall
reconstruction to join our team at the Royal Free Hospital NHS Trust. The individual
should have specialist skills in open and laparoscopic surgery in both the elective and
emergency setting. They should also have JAG accreditation in lower GI endoscopy. The
preferred elective sub-specialty interest is in benign coloproctology and abdominal wall
hernia, including abdominal wall reconstruction, though the role will principally involve
emergency and general surgery, within which the successful applicant will be expected to
take on the role of lead in general and emergency surgery for the soon to be introduced
Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU).

The Royal Free Hospital is seeking an exceptional Consultant Surgeon to join our dynamic team of nine consultants, taking a leading role in Emergency General Surgery while contributing to our high-quality elective benign colorectal service. This post offers the opportunity to shape and advance a busy, progressive surgical unit within a major teaching hospital, working alongside experienced multidisciplinary colleagues committed to clinical excellence, innovation, and outstanding patient care. We are looking for a motivated surgeon with strong leadership, collaborative skills, and a passion for delivering first-class emergency and colorectal surgical services in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s biggest and most innovative trusts. Across three main hospitals, our dedicated army of staff care for over 1.6million patients, treat more than 200,000 in A&E, deliver over 8,000 babies and carry out more than 17million tests.
