Specialty Doctor in Urology

Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust

The closing date is 01 May 2024

Job summary

The post holder will join the existing team of Consultants and middle grade level doctors in the department. The work will involve working with the consultants in a variety of sub-specialities on a rotational basis, including on-calls. Contribution to the on-call rota would be 1 in 8, week days and weekends. There is a busy general urology practice and all consultants sub-specialise. We work closely with the St Luke's Cancer Network. The department also has a number of specialist nurses supporting Cancer, Cystoscopy, and Stones.

The Department of Urology has undergone considerable change over the last ten years and with expansion of the Trust and relocation of acute surgical services on one site, this role will support its continued growth to meet the needs of an expanding and ageing population. The high standard of the urology departments work was recognised at the last external peer review. This is an exciting time to join the unit where we are working on a number of projects, as well as adopting novel new treatments to ensure that the unit is delivering a world class gold standard of care and is at the forefront of new treatments. Current developments include the establishment ofstate of the art robotic surgery facilities.

The Trust reserves the right to close the advert early once a suitable number if applications have been received. You are therefore encouraged to apply as soon as possible if you are interested in the role.
