We are looking for a senior consultant doctor in digestive medicine to join a busy, yet supportive
environment of Østfold Hospital. The position is subordinate to the Department of Gastroenterology.

The Department of Gastroenterology is an independent department under the Division of Medicine,
Østfold Hospital. Division of Medicine is organized in the following departments: Neurology,
Rheumatology, Nephrology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Gastroenterology, Geriatric Medicine,
Endocrinology, Infectious Diseases, Cardiology, Acute Medicine, and Pulmonary Medicine. We are
responsible for delivering services in accordance with the mission document from South-Eastern Norway
Regional Health Authority, and conduct our work in accordance with their vision of "good and equal health
services to everyone who needs them, when they need them, regardless of age, place of residence, ethnic
background, gender and finances".

Job description
As a senior consultant, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the provision of excellent
gastroenterology care, endoscopies, endoscopic ultrasound, ERCP, liver disease, IBD, outpatient clinics and
admin sessions, making a significant impact on patient well-being in the community.

As a result of the national screening programme for bowel cancer, the department has seen a particular
increase in colonoscopies. Developments in the field also mean that an increasing proportion of polyp
removals will take place at our outpatient clinic. There are good opportunities for extra work in connection
with an increasing need for scopy examinations, and the department has an established arrangement for
this. In addition to the outpatient clinic, the department has a ward with 18 beds, and rounds are
therefore an important part of the tasks. The activity is divided between approximately 2,200 admissions
and 10,000 outpatient contacts annually (including nurse-run outpatient clinics).
