Consultant in Colorectal Surgery

As part of the single hospital configuration MRI has been designated the lead trust for GI Medicine & Surgical services, including the provision of colorectal surgery services. A key outcome of this will be the integration of the colorectal teams across the MFT hospitals. An integrated colorectal team will have the capability to deliver world class multidisciplinary specialist colorectal services to the people of Manchester and beyond. Together we will harness a unique blend of the latest technologies, techniques, research and education which would set us apart in the North West. Key benefits of an integrated colorectal service include specialist provision of rectal cancer surgery, IBD surgery and pelvic floor surgery, research and innovation and improved patient and staff experience. As part of the vision for the integration, expansion of consultant numbers is required with the aim to expand and develop our specialist services and meet existing demand.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We're creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you'll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.

We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What's more, we're excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
