Job description
Job responsibilities
Introduction
Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is
pleased to announce the development and introduction of this new role. The post will be a combination of service
delivery and educational input within the specialty.
The post is not a recognised UK training
post. However, the post-holder will have
a named supervisor, and be supported in undertaking scheduled educational
opportunities within the Trust and specialties.
An Introduction
to the Division/Specialty from Mr Mo
Dooldeniya
This post represents an exciting
opportunity to join a urology department in providing state of the art
urological services to a population approaching 600,000. In a year the Urology department will see
approximately 20,000 outpatients and undertake 6,500 elective and 2,800
non-elective procedures.
The Department of Urology has been
designated as a cancer team for major pelvic cancer surgery within the regions
Cancer Network. Cancer team designation
has allowed development of a large Uro-oncology service. The department also provides continence,
neuro-urology and bladder reconstruction services to the regional spinal
injuries unit based at the Trust. The
provision of advanced Endourology and laparoscopic surgery is established for
upper urinary tract benign and malignant conditions. The stone service is comprehensive, with an
on-site lithotripter enabling stones to be managed using all of the major
treatment modalities. Departmental
facilities are excellent. In addition to the advanced laparoscopic urology
already provided within the Trust, a robotic surgery service has now been
established utilising the DaVinci Robot. While major elective and emergency
urological surgery is carried out in Pinderfields Hospital; outpatient work,
day case surgery and urological investigations sessions are run on all of the
Trusts hospital sites. Urological
investigations units are present on all three main hospital sites and provide a
focus for the diagnostic investigations and ambulatory treatments that patients
may require. In-patient care is provided
through a 26 bedded urology ward at Pinderfields. The urology ward also houses an eight-bedded
surgical high-dependency unit.
The care of patients who are admitted
acutely under urology is carried out with a high level of Consultant
input. The on-call team consisting of Consultant,
Registrar, CT/FY2 doctor and F1 doctor are free of routine duties and able to
concentrate their efforts on looking after patients who have been admitted
acutely.
The Getting it Right First time (GIRFT)
national report on urology has recommended the establishment of urology area
networks to optimise quality and efficiency.
Towards this aim, the urology department
at Pinderfields has for the last 4 years successfully supported the weekend
on-call service at Barnsley General Hospital and provides a tertiary referral
service for specialist work. Efforts are ongoing to increase the level of
collaboration between the two departments with the ultimate aim of having a
single unit based primarily at Pinderfields offering urological care and
services to a combined population approaching one million patients.
Urological services are provided within
the context of a multi-disciplinary team.
There is excellent medical support from colleagues in Anaesthetics, Critical
Care, Spinal cord injury, Neurology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Uro-gynaecology,
Colorectal surgery, Plastic surgery and Radiology. Specialist nursing support includes
Uro-oncology nursing, stoma nurses and urology nurse specialists who are based
in the investigation facilities on each of the three main hospital sites. The specialist nurses contribute hugely to
the ability of the department to offer expert care as near to the patients
home as possible.
The Service Role
From a clinical perspective these posts will
participate in the cross site senior trainee rota. The senior trainee rota is compliant with the
2016 junior doctor contract averaging 48 hours per week.
Duties will be based primarily on our Pinderfields
Hospital site although all our medical staff are involved in delivering care to
patients on all our sites.
The main duties of the post will include:
Provision
of care with responsibility for the management of patients with acute and
chronic conditions including complex cases.
Assisting
and operating (with or without direct supervision) on patients in theatre
depending on attained surgical competencies
Referral
of patients to other specialities as appropriate

Involvement
in relevant administration duties
Teaching
and supervision of junior medical staff and other clinicians as appropriate
Active
involvement in audit & clinical governance including service improvement
activities
Participation
in acute non-resident middle grade on-call rota.
The
above list is not intended to be exhaustive and it is likely duties may be
altered from time to time in the light of changing circumstances and after
discussion with the post holder.
The MYDoc
Training Programme Educational Input & Recognition
Doctors appointed to a MYDoc post will receive
relevant educational input. Each doctor will be
allocated an Educational Supervisor and will be required to develop a
Personalised Work Schedule.
