Gastroenterology offers an exciting and demanding career in the NHS, but it’s not for everyone. From non-stop hospital bleeps to life-saving procedures, you’ll be constantly on your toes. This specialty involves more than just treating stomach issues—it includes the entire GI tract, liver, pancreas, and performing complex procedures like endoscopy and colonoscopy. Whether you're still considering it or already committed, here’s what you need to know:
High demand: Always in need, especially during on-call shifts.
Skills required: Advanced procedures like endoscopy, and empathy to deal with acute and chronic conditions.
Commitment: Training is rigorous, and the dual-certification with internal medicine can delay completion.
Global opportunity: High demand for gastroenterologists, both in the UK and internationally.
But is it the right fit for YOU? Share your thoughts below. Are you drawn to procedures, or is the intense pressure too much for you?
