Job Description

We have an opportunity for a clinical fellow post in urology as our current postholder has been appointed to a formal training post (ST3 NTN) and we are expanding our middle grade. Over the past 7 consecutive years we have had a 100% record with the post holder of this post progressing to an NTN. ABOUT THE TEAM The current work force consists of two SpR's, five fellows, a CT1, two FY1's and a nurse practioner. Many of the peripheral hospital clinics and lists are performed by consultants alone and represent a huge untapped training resource. There are 11 urology consultants. WHAT YOU'LL DO The post would suit candidates who have completed basic training and wish to pursue a career in urology. The successful candidate would take part in the 1:7 middle grade on call rota including evenings and weekends, both 8am to 8pm. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR The successful candidate would get great benefit from the short stay and day case lists that occur in Lymington and at the Royal South Hants hospitals, as well as the experience of more complex procedures at University Hospital Southampton. The provision of a consultant of the week will allow excellent training and support, particularly for emergency work, and by the end of a year we hope to have transformed you into an excellent candidate for specialist training. UHS is a tertiary referral, high volume specialist urology unit. We provide high volume uro-oncology including Robotic Prostatectomy, Cryotherapy and HIFU, Radical Cystectomy and pelvic exenteration, Radical (incl IVC involvement)and partial Nephrectomy, Testis, RPLND and penile cancer. We provide tertiary andrology for Wessex and have a high volume stone unit, including paediatric stones and an onsite lithotripter. Our benign service includes many treatments for male LUTS including TURP, bipolar, HOLEP, PAE and Urolift. The size of the department enables huge untapped opportunities for audit and research relating to urology and across our allied specialities. The successful candidates will be expected to have a subspecialty interest appropriate to their level.
