We are looking to recruit a Locum Consultant with a special interest in Endourology and Core Urology. The successful candidate will become part of a dedicated and successful team which has an excellent track record in clinical service delivery and both regional and national teaching & training. The Foundation Trust has Cancer Centre status and serves the patients of Bradford, Airedale, Calderdale and Huddersfield for radical pelvic surgery.
This is an exciting time to join the Trust as we are in the process of building the brand new state-of-the-art Day Case Unit at St Lukes Hospital to deliver planned surgery.

Alongside these aspects, the appointee will participate in the training of medical students and junior doctors.
