This post has been created to teach a senior urology trainee genito-urethral reconstruction with the emphasis on urethroplasty. Paul Anderson carries out 130 to 140 NHS urethroplasties per year – Bulbar, penile (BXO and hypospadias both virgin and salvage) full length and Bulboprostatic anastamotic. This is 70% of the operative workload. The rest comprises revision circumcision, Peyronie’s, buried penis, Fourniere’s / hydradenitis reconstruction and oddities. Private sector work includes repair of damage from genital piercings and removal of genital silicone.
The post would suit a post-exam trainee or an overseas doctor with a good grounding in general urology to allow them to focus on this subspecialty. The length of the fellowship can be tailored to the individual from six months to two years or longer if desired. This post is available from January 2026.
Interested applicants or indeed those simply wishing to discuss how such a fellowship would fit into their training and benefit them, should contact Mr Anderson via email joannemole@nhs.net
Past fellows of this post will be happy to talk candidly about the fellowship to potential applicants
Main duties of the job
The timetable will include urethrograms, specialist clinics and two days a week in theatre. There will be a service component and urology on call at registrar level. Other opportunities include joining the next Urolink visit to University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia (as previous fellows have). There is also a wealth of data that needs writing up and presenting.

Using AI for jobs applications:
Whilst we encourage the use of technology to help manage time and support innovation. However, it is your responsibility to ensure your application is personalised and clearly reflects your own skills and experiences. While AI can assist with drafting, it should only be used as a support tool. The content must be your own work and accurately represent your knowledge, abilities, and values. Over-reliance on AI-generated content may result in your application being rejected. A common issue arises when we receive multiple applications with identical or overly generic language.
The use of AI during assessments, including interviews, is not permitted unless it has been pre-approved as part of a reasonable adjustment. For digital interviews, you may be asked to provide a 360-degree view of your surroundings on camera and confirm that no additional devices are present. If we suspect AI is being used during an interview, we may pause the process to clarify or adjust our approach to questioning.
Caring for patients demands integrity, honesty, and accountability. We expect your application and participation to be authentic and a genuine reflection of your own experiences and values.
Multi-site working
The four partner Trusts of the Black Country Provider Collaborative (Dudley Group NHS FT, Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, and Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust) are actively working in partnership to deliver a collective vision focused on providing "better, faster and safer care to the population of the Black Country and beyond".
To support this vision, we are (where appropriate and safe to do so) actively looking at new models of care which:
8. Better protect elective / planned care service delivery across the system by organising on a 'hot and cold' arrangement
9. Consider the optimal use of resources through consolidation and specialisation, and
10. Seek to reduce unwarranted variance, level up / standardise care through a 'Networked Service Solution' approach across the four sites
Against this context, although this post is hosted by The Dudley Group, there may be an expectation to work flexibly across the four partner Trusts to better meet patient and service needs.
