Job description
Job responsibilities
There will also be exposure to robotic adrenalectomy, nephron-ureterectomy, RPLND and reconstructive procedures such as pyeloplasty
The ultimate aim of the robotic fellowship is independent practice at a high level of proficiency in robotic urological surgery, particularly radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer and robotic nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy, and robotic/open radical cystectomy. There will be cross cover across jobs allowing exposure to both sides.
The clinical work will be broken down into session with 50% of time spent in surgery. Patient contact which includes daily ward rounds prior to theatre sessions and weekly urology oncology and general clinics will equate to 20% of the time. Teaching and performing admin duties will equate to about 10%.
Research:Research projects will be undertaken and will be closely monitored by Consultants via monthly departmental audit meetings and weekly tutorial sessions.
Monthly academic meetings will allow close assessment and progress and presentations at National and International Urology Meetings.Research activities will be carried out during the working week and with some evenings and occasional weekends are required.
