The Trust’s Urology Service

This is a department where you can immerse yourself in a dynamic team comprising 3 seasoned Urology Consultants, backed by 2 Associate Specialists who will guide and take the lead with you and your more junior colleagues. The special interests of the Consultants leading the service span Oncology, Stones, Andrology, Female, Functional, and Neuro-urology, making it a cutting-edge place to be.

There are major pelvic oncological surgeries taking place at the renowned regional cancer center and renal surgeries performed at their other top-tier facility. Spanning across 2 sites, you  will be required to be moving between two sites, which should be seen as an opportunity to develop your personal skills in different environments, rather than a hinderance.

The department has a 1:5 non-residential middle-grade on-call rota, where you'll be at the forefront of emergency care. Proficiency in flexible cystoscopy and minor surgery is a must, as you'll play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality patient care.
